Due to its long experience in renowned projects in the field of water engineering, SAITEC relies on a highly-skilled multidisciplinary team to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions. SAITEC's most outstanding activities and projects in this field can be grouped into the following areas:
SAITEC carries out many different activities in this field - from river basin management and flood protection plans to potential risk assessment as per Directive 2007/60/EC, as well as environmental management and river restoration projects.
SAITEC's experience in this area includes the design of both urban water supply systems and water reuse and irrigation systems. As a result, designed infrastructures include more than a thousand kilometres of piping from 300 to 2,500 mm, with all kinds of materials and building technologies (trenching, pipe-jacking, tunnelling), besides pumping stations with a broad range of flows and pressures, tanks, regulation reservoirs and dams.
In this area of expertise, SAITEC has also been commissioned for prominent assignments, from the outline of environmentally responsible solutions to their final definition and construction. Undertaken projects include sewage systems in large towns such as Bilbao, San Sebastián, Lugo, Ourense, Ferrol, Cartagena, Santiago de Compostela or Vigo, and in protected natural areas such as the coastal wetlands in Santoña (Cantabria) and Urdaibai (Basque Country).
SAITEC, as a comprehensive engineering company, has also designed outstanding wastewater treatment plants all over Spain. The services provided include process and functional design, electrical and instrumentation design, and architectural design for a better integration into the urban environment.
