Ramboll has many years of experience with all types of wastewater consulting services and the design of wastewater collection systems all over the world.
Strategic wastewater planning
Current legislation defines requirements for new municipal wastewater plans. Our experience in developing wastewater plans helps us transform the requirements made in the EU Water Framework Directive into practical solutions. Our customers benefit from our knowledge and experience when we assist them in the creation of water and action plans.
Ramboll’s experienced specialists in wastewater planning work closely with local governments and regularly involve politicians and administrative personnel. We apply the most recent Geographic Information System (GIS) tools in our work and supply our customers with customised digital wastewater plans.
Climate adaptation
Rainfalls of unusal 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.
Wastewater treatment
Ensuring the quality of water requires constant focus on wastewater discharge and well functioning wastewater treatment plants. Our key expertise covers process design, layout and detailed design within biological, chemical and physical wastewater treatment plant process design. We can help you with both new facilities and with plant modernisation, in areas such as tertiary treatment, sludge treatment, anaerobic digestion and sustainable sludge disposal.
Our mission is to follow each project through all stages, from conceptual ideas and analysis, through process dimensioning and conceptual design, detailed design and tendering to construction and commissioning of the plant. Our preferred role is to act as lead consultant, where we take responsibilty for process design and mechanical engineering and can use our resources within other technical disciplines such as civil, structures, HVAC, electrical engineering and automation.
Sludge and organic waste - reducing emissions and pollution
Ramboll is among the forerunners within sludge and organic waste treatment, offering expertise within organic waste and sludge treatment, how to use organic matter to produce biogas and thus reduce climate gas emissions, how to reduce odour and pollution in the matter. By combining competence within our waste water, energy and polluted soil and ground water services we provide a complete solution for our customers.
Discharge systems
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, basins, canals, drains, pumping stations and overflows, we can guarantee our customers will gain access to a high degree of professionalism and expertise.
Operation and maintenance
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. Ramboll has developed a straightforward system that allows the user to manage the operation and maintenance of basins, buildings,canals and pumping stations efficiently.
Reusing rainwater
When it comes to integrating rainwater drainage into urban environments, Ramboll is the world’s leading consultant. During the last 10 years we have been involved in many urban development projects where, for example, rainwater is diverted to recreational areas, minimising the load on drainage infrastructure, and the risk of surface water flooding.
