Building sustainable, well-designed wastewater treatment facilities is vital to the environment and the overall well-being of communities. Solutions today and tomorrow must not only provide clean drinking water to the public, but also clean the water before it flows back into our lakes and collect rainwater to support eco-friendly resource recovery.
Ensuring the growth of your community with confidence
Tackling a wastewater management challenge can be daunting. Workflow, hydraulics, electricity, controls, instrumentation, control and data acquisition systems, structural design and environmental responsibility are just a few of the elements that must be mastered to obtain innovative and profitable solutions.
At CIMA+, we have extensive wastewater management expertise. Unlike our competitors, our in-house electrical and structural team is 100% dedicated to the design of wastewater treatment plants and knows all the ins and outs of these facilities.
Our team of specialists can ensure your infrastructure assets are in proper working order and that there is a plan in place to determine their end-of-life and any necessary upgrades. We can develop a long-term growth plan for the community's health and safety, plus accurately analyze profitability, energy efficiency and costs. When necessary, we support municipalities applying for funding, in order to expedite the process and allow them to obtain the funds they need to cover their project costs.
Our expertise: facts and figures
CIMA+’s achievements span more than 30 years and speak for themselves: we play a key role in developing tomorrow’s sustainable solutions.
