Our Specialism: Mobile Treatment Plant

The mobile and containerised treatment units we deploy on tunnelling sites — plug-and-play plants that install fast and relocate as the works advance. This page helps you match a packaged unit to your flow, footprint and access. Each unit arrives pre-piped, pre-wired and factory-tested, so commissioning on site is measured in days rather than weeks. As the works move, the plant is craned to the next location and recommissioned, giving continuous treatment cover across the life of a linear tunnelling project.

Industry Overview

Flexible Solutions for Construction Projects

Tunnelling and construction projects require water treatment equipment that can be quickly deployed, easily relocated, and rapidly commissioned. Our mobile and containerised treatment systems provide the flexibility needed for dynamic construction environments while delivering the same performance as permanent installations. Pre-assembled and factory-tested, these systems minimise site installation time and can be operational within days of delivery. Modular hire and purchase options let contractors scale treatment up or down as the programme evolves, with remote monitoring to minimise site attendance. This keeps water management off the critical path on fast-moving construction projects.

Rapid Deployment

Pre-assembled systems that can be operational within 1-3 days of delivery, minimising project delays and accelerating construction schedules.

Easy Relocation

Containerised and skid-mounted designs allow equipment to be moved as tunnelling progresses or between project sites.

Factory Tested

All systems are pre-commissioned and tested before shipment, ensuring reliable operation from day one.

Scalable Design

Modular systems can be expanded by adding additional containers as project requirements grow.

Applications

Mobile Equipment Projects

Tunnelling Projects

Mobile treatment systems that follow TBM progress, relocating as the tunnel advances.
