Drinking Water Division
The management of drinking water supply systems must address the challenges of performance optimization, particularly reducing water losses, based on a reasoned strategy driven by financial imperatives but grounded in strong technical considerations.
To achieve this objective, the Drinking Water Division conducts studies to deepen the understanding of drinking water supply systems and define the required investments to maintain or even improve the quality of the drinking water distribution service, while keeping costs under control and accounting for future needs. Our team of experienced engineers and geomatics specialists has a recognized technical expertise in strategic and technical studies of drinking water supply systems, project management of infrastructure and networks, as well as in supporting the control and renewal of Public Service Delegations.

Our Activity Sectors

Strategic Studies and Master Planning
These studies focus particularly on asset diagnostics (pipelines and equipment), functional diagnostics of networks with hydraulic modeling and water quality analysis (using Software such as EPANET, PORTEAU, Synergi), assessments of the robustness of supply systems (crisis scenario studies and FMECA studies), and the identification of renewal needs (risk analysis of pipe failures using the CASSES software from IRSTEA), network security, and reinforcement strategies.

Feasibility Studies and Project Management Assignments
These assignments may cover networks (reinforcement/extension, restructuring, interconnections), infrastructure (treatment plants, pumping stations, reservoirs), and telemanagement systems.

Assistance for Control and Renewal of PSDs
These assistance services include technical audits of Public Service Delegation (PSD) contracts, drafting the technical sections of PSD contracts, and providing technical support for the awarding of PSD contracts.
