ReBV – Recurring Leadership in Water Reuse

Black & Veatch has long been a global leader in water reuse research, planning, treatment and implementation. We have expertise that we have developed, honed and reapplied efficiently as technologies have evolved and opportunities have increased. Building constantly on our experience, we deliver cost-effective solutions that meet today’s requirements and prepare clients for tomorrow’s challenges. Circle back with us at this year’s virtual symposium for:

Site-Specific Solutions

We collaborate from the conceptual stages through the first years of operation, balancing project life-cycle costs, operator preferences and vision, community requirements and site constraints, to realize client objectives and expectations. LEARN MORE

Efficient, Reliable Process Selection

Performing research and designing and operating bench- and pilot-scale test and demonstration projects, we identify processes to meet regulatory and sustainability objectives for water quality and quantity. LEARN MORE

Strong Stakeholder Support

We excel at building trust and using outreach with government authorities and community stakeholders to win public support and regulatory approval for water recycling projects.

Timely Project Delivery

As a contractor as well as a planner and designer, we deliver reuse projects via traditional design-bid-build and progressive design-build approaches. Considering a project’s constructability from the outset, we advance proactive, cost-saving implementation.

Integrated Solutions

We solve the big picture for clients. We balance treatment and conveyance requirements, and address discharge requirements while recovering resources. LEARN MORE
