“Envireau Water are a pleasure to work with. They are team players who deliver excellent service and advice to their clients.
They have a genuine understanding of water issues and regulations that makes them stand out. This includes an in-depth understanding of the nuances of the regulatory and legislative context in which they operate and where appropriate they are not afraid to challenge both accepted practice and the regulators."
“Envireau Water have been a pleasure to work with, and their input and expertise was a critical element in bringing a complex project to a successful conclusion as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
It was clear from the start of the project that the team had an in-depth understanding of the nuances of the regulatory and legislative context in which they operate and, equally importantly, their practical application. They were not afraid to challenge both accepted practice and the regulators’ approach, and we also greatly valued their skills in providing expert witness services. We would have no hesitation in recommending Envireau Water, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.”
