CLIENT FOCUSED SOLUTIONS FOR WATERCOURSE LANDSCAPES, PUMPING STATIONS AND INVASIVE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
​
At DHMS Civil's, we specialise in fluvial and coastal projects delivering weirs, retaining walls, flood & coastal defences and cliff stabilisation. Water is a finite resource. As with all other resources, we must manage it responsibly. Globally, many of the water systems that keep ecosystems thriving and serve a growing human population have become stressed. Rivers and lakes are drying up or becoming too polluted to use.
​
Managing demand
In the coming years, the combined effects of climate change and an increasing population will put further pressure on the availability of fresh water. We need to act now to manage our demand, or our water supplies could be compromised.
​
Protecting local water sources
At DHMS we are working hard to minimise the use of water in all our operations. However, larger gains can be made if we help our customers develop and construct buildings and infrastructure schemes that use less water during their lifetime and protect local water sources. We choose to do this by supporting builders through the adoption of water saving and recycling technologies, and on infrastructure projects through sustainable urban drainage systems.
Environmental management
We have developed protocols, management tools and training materials that are freely available to everyone. Together with partners across the value chain we have been focusing on the following areas:
Adopting water-saving technology.
Reduce mains water consumption by using equipment that is water efficient. Alternatively, use other, non-potable water sources, such as rainwater capture.
Engaging our people.
Technology alone will not result in a water-efficient construction site. It's the people working on our sites who operate machinery and control water outlets that have the power to reduce water consumption
