Onsite water management I Hydroscan

^{Our integrated TRIAS AQUATICA approach for industry}

Your on-site water management, ready for tomorrow

As an analogy to the Trias Energetica, the 3 driving principles of our TRIAS AQUATICA are:

1. Limiting water consumption by using water-saving technical solutions
2. Maximising the use of sustainable water sources: use of stormwater and re-use of wastewater
3. Pro-active management of the water infrastructure in line with environmental regulations AND in the most cost-effective way

Hydroscan carries out water audits and water impact assessments, and develops your entire on-site water management in a sustainable way.

We can also help you to make your operational asset management very cost-effective.

Main benefits

The essence is having both a more sustainable AND a more cost-effective on-site water management

Responsible use of our precious drinking water resources
Maximum use of free and sustainable water sources
Discharge of wastewater and stormwater in line with local regulations
Replenishment of natural water sources like groundwater and surface water
Designing water systems that are easier to manage and maintain
Pro-active management of the underground infrastructure by identifying strategic and critical assets
Inspection of physical condition of underground sewers and structural risk analysis
Hydraulic modelling of on-site water systems and flood risk assessments

More about our integrated and holistic TRIAS AQUATICA vision

1. Limiting water consumption through water-saving technical solutions

HydroScan keeps constant track of new technical solutions. We always give the most accurate advicein relation to the desired level of sustainability.

Adopting running water-saving measures are always part of our recommendations:

Water-saving toilets, showers and taps
Water-saving equipment
Limiting the length of hot water pipes

2. Maximising the use of sustainable water sources

The most common techniques are using stormwater and re-using wastewater.

Our vision:

Maximum restriction of the use of groundwater
Maximising the re-use of stormwater through the optimum design of sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) with volumes in balance with water consumption
Maximising water re-use within the site by using the appropriate local treatment technology

3. Optimum design of the water infrastructure

We focus on:

efficient separate water drainage
maximal infiltration of excess storm water on-site
water management in line with permits ansd legislation
water management with a minimal impact on the surrounding water system combined with our search for the most cost-effective solution

Our design always takes the future management and maintenance of these water systems into account.

For existing infrastructure, we use our unique approach for pro-active asset management, identifying the most strategic assets and developing an inspection and renovation scheme to keep these assets in good condition.
