Maintaining and repairing pipes, averting health risks, collecting liquid waste… Specializing in the maintenance of drinking water and wastewater systems, Veolia Environmental Services provides high-performance solutions to safeguard local inhabitants' health and quality of life.
An efficient and expert service
Designed to guarantee the performance and safety of drinking water and wastewater systems, one of the services we offer involves inspecting, maintaining and repairing pipes. This work is carried out in optimum technical conditions so as to limit disruption for those who use the pipes. In Brittany, for example, we used specific equipment to rehabilitate 75km of pipes, thus eliminating the need to dig trenches or cut off the water supply. This highly efficient operation that cost three times less than traditional methods also enabled us to prolong the pipes’ lifespan.
3D techniques for high-quality services
We use state-of-the-art computing and video techniques to optimize and rationalize our services. Our 3D cameras notably enable us to assess the condition of pipes, thereby averting pollution risks. As a result of this technique, which provides 360° views that can be processed by computer, we were awarded contracts in Canada to rehabilitate the Toronto and Laval wastewater systems and to maintain those in Quebec.
Innovative solutions to protect the environment
Working in conjunction with the Environment, Energy and Waste Research Centre (CREED), we have designed and built a pilot vehicle that empties septic tanks and recycles the liquid waste, returning settled and filtered water back into the tank. The number of visits to service the tank and the volumes of waste transported are thus dramatically reduced, significantly improving the system’s overall environmental performance.
