PRACTICE AREAS

What we do, field by field

WWEC brings together water, waste and environmental specialists under one roof. Every engagement from a village water scheme to a full ESIA for an international lender draws on the same multidisciplinary team and the same commitment to work that holds up in the field, not just on paper.

  • Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) reports

  • Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMP)

  • Environmental and Social Management Frameworks (ESMF)

  • Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) and Policy Frameworks

  • EIA guidelines development

  • Costed Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans

  • Monitoring and Evaluation Frameworks

  • Third-party environmental and social safeguards monitoring

Environment and Social Safeguards

We take a project from screening through to compliance monitoring, producing the reports that lenders, regulators and affected communities all rely on.

  • Baseline and specialist studies

  • Stakeholder and public consultations

  • Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)

  • Environmental screening and scoping

  • Resettlement studies and valuation of affected property

  • Grievance redress process and mechanism design

  • Legal framework and eligibility determination for affected persons

  • Displacement estimation methodologies

Irrigation Design

Irrigation schemes sized and sequenced to match real water availability and farmer needs, not just the design brief.

  • Design of irrigation schemes

  • Determining irrigation system requirements

  • Irrigation storage and distribution system design

  • Irrigation scheme management

Water Supply and Wastewater Engineering

From the source to the tap and back out through the sewer: supply schemes, catchment protection, sewerage design and the by-laws that keep effluent in check.

  • Designing and implementing water supply schemes

  • Developing infrastructure and micro-project programmes

  • Customer relations and new service connection programmes

  • Meter testing, calibration and repair programmes

  • Community-based catchment protection projects

  • Water quality monitoring programmes

  • Sewerage and industrial wastewater system design

  • Industrial wastewater sampling and monitoring programmes

  • Feasibility studies for upgrading wastewater treatment systems

  • Sanitation and Hygiene Investment Plans / Strategic Sanitation Plans

  • Domestic and Trade Effluent By-Law development

  • Industrial effluent discharge regulation drafting and enforcement

Construction Supervision

On-site oversight that keeps water, sanitation and infrastructure works to specification, on programme, and in line with agreed safeguards commitments.

  • Site supervision of water, sanitation and infrastructure works

  • Quality and progress monitoring against contract specification

  • Coordination between contractors, clients and funders

  • Compliance monitoring against environmental and social commitments

Solid Waste Management

Planning for where waste goes and how it's handled once it gets there — from siting studies to ongoing disposal monitoring.

  • Landfill siting assessments

  • Solid waste collection system design

  • Waste disposal management programmes

  • Monitoring of industrial solid waste disposal

Process Design, Modelling and Optimization

Simulation and modelling work that connects design, manufacturing and management decisions in chemical and industrial process plants.

  • Process model development and refinement

  • Identifying optimal operating points for chemical plants over time

  • Analysis and optimization of operating multi-product plants

  • Advanced process control (APC) and reactor cascade modelling using dynamic simulators

  • Technical advisory for industrial air pollution control

  • Environmental management and impact assessment

Air Pollution Monitoring and Control

  • Monitoring industrial air emissions

  • Enforcing stack emission standards for factories

Keeping industrial emissions inside the standards regulators set, with the technical backup to act when they're not.

Air Pollution Monitoring and Control

Practical, field-tested training across every discipline above, built for teams who need to run these systems themselves once we've handed over.

  • Solid and liquid waste management

  • Socio-economic surveys

  • Mobile data collection

  • Cross-cutting issues in environmental management

  • Practical solutions in environmental management

  • Operational management

  • Climate-smart activities

  • Chemical process and plant engineering
