Sewage
Old or inadequate sewers are of major environmental concern in most parts of the world. Ramboll has a strong expertise in leading technical assistance projects related to water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation and design.
Climate adaptation and stormwater handling
Rainfalls of unusual intensity are occurring more and more frequently around the world, and are likely to continue to increase in frequency. As the effects of climate change become apparent, climate adaptation work is being taken more seriously.
At Ramboll, we help our customers quantify the financial consequences of climate change and find new solutions in response. We use dedicated computer modelling software for modelling ground flooding to give our customers an overview of the consequences of heavy rain in the coming years.
Discharge systems and marine outfall
Many sewage systems are outdated and in need of significant investment to modernise and improve their efficiency. Through detailed planning, it will be possible to optimise such investment. We provide our customers with a comprehensive overview of their sewage system and help them plan future cost-effective renovation projects. Because of our many years of experience in the design of pipelines, river and sea outfalls, basins, canals, drains, pumping stations and overflows, we can guarantee our customers will gain access to a high degree of professionalism and expertise.
Drinking water networks
The planned operation and systematic maintenance of wastewater facilities can prevent most problems from occurring and provides our customers with the confidence to commit extra resources only where necessary.
