    Water Supply and Sanitation

    Fichtner India is engaged in projects for drinking water supply from groundwater, surface water and seawater. To the fore for drinking water supply in both rural and urban areas, Fichtner is involved in efficient and sustainable exploitation of water resources and playing a key role in planning and utilising water resources for proper sanitation and wastewater networks.

    Our water experts are involved in design concepts to commissioning including source identification, treatment, conveying, storage and water supply distribution networks as well as tender document preparation, procurement support and O&M plans. Our service ranges from formulation of new projects, improving & revamping existing water supply projects for urban & rural areas. Our team brings their experience and technical know-how to the forefront, when rehabilitating existing inadequate networks. Fichtner is also well equipped to studying reduction of water & power losses through water & energy audit.

    For sanitation, our engineers plan complex sewer networks at all scales. The design of pumping stations with high capacity wastewater transfer pipelines is often an integral part of our projects. Further, we plan wastewater and sewage networks to meet virtually all technical requirements and we have on hand specialist know-how for industrial wastewater treatment. Wastewater recycling is playing an increasingly important role in water utilization concepts & zero discharge concepts throughout the world and we take this into account in our planning.

    Key areas of activity

    • 24 x 7 Continuous Pressured Water Supply system
    • Underground Sewerage System including treatment & recycling
    • Engineering for Intake and Outfall Structures
    • Strom Water Drainage and Rain Water Harvesting Systems
    • Leak Detection
    • Water & energy audit
    • Tariff Design and Technical Audit for Water Supply projects
  • Seawater Desalination

    Seawater Desalination

    The Fichtner Group is engaged in desal projects and have been regularly handling seawater desalination. Our company has built up an incomparable wealth of experience in seawater desalination and intake systems. Alongside the thermal MSF and MED processes, today thanks to developments in membrane research, reverse osmosis technology is finding application even in large-scale facilities. Gaining in significance is tie-in of renewable energies to support energy supply for seawater desalination. Matching the desalination technology to the site conditions and manner of energy supply requires meticulous planning.

    Principal technologies

    • Reverse Osmosis - RO
    • Multiple Effect Distillation - MED
    • Multi-Stage Flash Distillation - MSF
    • Hybrid plants
    • Integration of regenerative energies
  • Building Information Modeling

    Building Information Modeling

    Building Information Modeling widely referred as BIM in the AEC industry is quite different from the conventional drawing based engineering. BIM process involves development of an intelligent data-rich 3D model environment which is shared among all participants working in the project throughout the lifecycle of the project from concept to commissioning, operations and maintenance of the facility until demolition. During concept stage of the project BIM enables the owners and other stake holders to visualize possible iterations before finalizing the most desired plan of the facility they develop. Also BIM enables achieving a clash free model fully loaded with all the services like HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Protection system, etc. before the drawings go to construction site. BIM helps managing the facility during operations and maintenance stage by way of facilitating easy identification of problem areas and rectification measures.
