Industrial water intakes & outfalls

Many industrial activities require large volumes of water, necessitating specific measures for the withdrawal, treatment and release of water resources into the natural environment. Artelia operates in all these areas, offering integrated solutions for sustainable water management.

We design groundwater abstraction plants, river and sea water intakes for thermal and nuclear power plants, desalination plants and industrial complexes in the chemical, petrochemical, mining, agrifood, steel and metallurgical sectors.

We conduct advanced studies to optimise discharge infrastructures into the sea and rivers, guaranteeing protection from the effects of frost and ensuring controlled dispersion of effluents without negative environmental impacts. For this, we use high-performance 3D modelling tools to prevent recirculation of warm or saline water.

Our teams design, implement and supervise the maintenance of groundwater abstraction systems, helping clients manage the technical and regulatory aspects of protecting groundwater from industrial hazards.
