BW HAS ACQUIRED EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCES IN PREPARING MASTER PLANS, FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND OUTLINE DESIGNS AS A PRELUDE TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT OF COMPLETE ENGINEERING PROJECTS. THE NATURE OF ADVISORY CONSULTING WORK VARIES IN COMPLEXITY AND EXTENT WITH THE NEEDS OF A PARTICULAR PROJECT, BUT GENERALLY INVOLVES THE INTEGRATION OF A VARIETY OF TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES MANAGED AS A TEAM FOR THE SUCCESSFUL AND ECONOMIC REALISATION OF THE PROJECT.

BW Perunding has implemented water treatment and distribution schemes in both rural and urban communities. Water treatment plants have been designed to treat a variety of raw waters to the standards laid down by the client. Treatment plants range from small chlorination stations to large multi-stage plants. Major water transmission systems comprising mains, pumping stations and service reservoirs have been designed and complex

water reticulation and distribution schemes prepared using powerful and proven computer modelling technologies.

The design of sewerage networks reqires various skills in hydraulic, structural design of pipelines, materials and soils which are all available within BW Perunding. High standards of designs are always maintained and statutory requirements are always carefully adhered to. BW Perunding designers are skilled in design and construction techniques including submarine pipelaying, softground, tunnelling and pipejacking. Our experience in sewage treatment ranges from low-cost aerated lagoons to the most advanced and sophisticated

technology, including innovations such as the pure oxygen activated sludge process. Various options of sludge disposal have been examined and in each instance, appropriate methods of treating sludge to make it safe, inoffensive and amenable to dewatering were considered.

BW Perunding has completed drainage studies and design works in urban, suburban and rural catchments. Economy can often be achieved by combining open channel drainage infrastructure with online or offline balancing reservoirs. The firm has experts hydrologists and hydrogeologists who can assess and analyse catchment run-off, and geotechnical engineers with experiences in design dams and embankments.

The firm retains internationally recognised consultants with specialised experineces in flood hydrology and dam foundation design.

Electrical and mechanical machinery may account for a significant proportion of total capital costs, for the greater part of the energy used, and for much of the skills required in operation and maintenance. The firm has an in-house and experienced team of electrical and mechanical engineers who work closely in an integrated approach. The electrical specialists experience includes power generation, high and low voltage distribution networks and control gear instrumentation, automation and communication engineering. The mechanical engineers have skills in design of pumping plants, compressors, and water and sewage treatment equipment.

The last few decades have seen the rapid development of instrumentation, automation and telemetry in water and wastewater engineering. These systems are based on electronics and computer technology. BW Perunding has taken the lead in this field and examples of applications can be found in the various completed projects.

BW Perunding has modern in-house computer facilities which are used to run an extensive library of engineering designs and analysis software covering all major spects of the firm's work. The facilities include CAD workstations, structural design packages and distribution network softwares for analysis of new distribution network, system extensions and upgrades.

Leakage control and waste detection is a serious problem not only in Malaysia, but also worldwide. It is becoming an increasingly important factor with the rise in energy costs and the expense of developing new sources of supply. BW Perunding is one of the country's leading consultants in this field with extensive experience in the use of modern equipment and methods to achieve significant economy to water undertakings.

BW Perunding provides service in the testing, commissioning and setting to work the various component units of the facilities. This process requires the close coordination of a team of chemists, electrical, mechanical and civil engineers.
