Specialising in the intricately regulated process sector, Atomax-UK has forged valuable partnerships with numerous water operators, particularly focusing on wastewater treatment and infrastructure. Our distinguished track record in safety and engineering excellence empowers us to deliver pioneering engineering solutions and innovative designs for our clients.
Every day, more than 50 million households and businesses across England and Wales benefit from dependable water supply, sanitation, and drainage services. These critical services are provided by 32 privately-owned companies managing an extensive network of 347,000 kilometers of sewers, which collectively process over 11 billion liters of wastewater daily. After treatment at approximately 9,000 sewage treatment plants, the treated effluent is discharged into inland waters, estuaries, and the sea.
Since the privatisation of the water and sewerage industry in 1989, a robust regulatory framework has ensured that consumers receive high-quality service at equitable prices. This regulatory structure has facilitated investments exceeding £130 billion in infrastructure maintenance and improvement projects. Additionally, the industry adheres strictly to national and European legislation, reinforcing environmental stewardship and public health standards.
