What we do

 

At Aqualia, we provide technical solutions and high-quality services in all phases of the end-to-end water cycle. Our aim is to improve the wellbeing of people and the communities where we operate.

Aqualia’s operating approach is predicated on the need to preserve water and environmental resources through innovation on the path to improving management efficiency. To succeed in this task, we follow the guidance of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and applicable law and regulations in each geography.

Our activity encompasses all stages of the water cycle: a thread that links together the entire value chain from collection and treatment, purification and reuse, to distribution, customer management, sewerage and infrastructure construction.

We are widely known and respected for our ability to adapt to the specific business model of each region and for our impressive track record, flexibility and strategic leadership in a dynamic environment. This also sets us apart in the regions where we operate.

The business models that we deploy across the different regions where we operate include the following:

End-to-end water cycle management (GCIA)

Management of end-to-end public water services, through long-term concession-based models or the ownership of assets, in countries with reliable regulatory systems. 

Infrastructure concessions (BOT)

Infrastructure concessions in which infrastructure, treatment plants (drinking water treatment, purification and desalination) or re-use facilities are designed, built, financed and operated long term through BOT-type agreements and take-or-pay mechanisms, in which the recovery of the investment associated with the infrastructure is guaranteed without assuming demand risk.

Operation and maintenance (O&M)

Hydro-infrastructure operation and maintenance services. This service allows for continuous availability of quality water, which requires the dedication, technology, professionalism and experience necessary to achieve maximum excellence in the processes.

Technology and networks (EPC)

Design and construction projects for hydro infrastructure, mainly for our own concessions, though also on custom projects. The experience of working with leading construction companies allows us to forge partnerships to reduce and minimise construction risks. We have EPC contracts in place in all geographies, mainly in those where we handle the integrated water cycle.

Aqualia Industrial

At Aqualia we are committed to industry, innovation and infrastructure as the bedrocks needed to create a positive impact. Through Aqualia Industrial, we help to ensure a resilient and modernised infrastructure that supports and assists a competitive and sustainable industry, while also being able to adapt to change by developing technologies and by innovating.
