Services
Sewers are the basic infrastructure of every community, and Verkís provides a wide range of services regarding sewer utilities and surface water solutions.
Verkís’ projects in the field of sewage is to ensure cost-effective treatment of sewage to protect the environment.
Request a consultationVerkís’ experts have extensive experience in the design of sewage pumping stations, large and small treatment facilities, and sewer outlets, and provide first-class consultation that meets the requirements of laws and regulations that apply to such systems. Particular emphasis is placed on providing local services and personal consultation for smaller municipalities that are facing the costly development of sewage treatment utilities.
With increased requirements for receiver protection and operational efficiency, together with increased pressure on the sewage system due to climate change, it will be necessary to separate rainwater from sewage. At Verkís, we offer multiple services for surface water treatment, both with system analyses of older sewage systems and at the planning and design stage of new districts.
Verkís’ experts are also leaders in surface water treatment and the implementation of blue-green surface water solution methodology, and Verkís offers an experienced multidisciplinary team of engineers, landscape architects, and planners in that field (See service category for surface water solutions.)
At Verkís, all the design of new sewage systems is done in three-dimensional models, which can be conflict analysed immediately at the design stage, and thus minimising modification during the construction stage. Verkís’ experts are also up-to-date with the latest hydrology software, and deliver all utility infrastructure designs electronically so that the designs are immediately useful in the operation of the municipalities’ utility systems.
Densification of urban areas in the capital area parallel to infrastructure development will result in complex changes to the utility systems. Older utility systems need to be replaced or connected, and Verkís’ experience and knowledge of the latest measuring devices, sampling, and analysis software is useful for assessments and analysis of existing systems.
At Verkís, we are leaders in the development of separate systems for sewage and surface water with sustainability and natural solutions as a guiding principle.

Verkís provides comprehensive services for sewage utility projects, from feasibility studies and planning to design, implementation, operation, and asset management. Our specialists help develop reliable, efficient, and sustainable wastewater infrastructure that protects public health, supports environmental compliance, and delivers long-term value for communities and utility owners.
We support the planning, design, construction, and operation of sewage pumping stations, helping ensure efficient wastewater transport, operational reliability, and sustainable infrastructure performance.
We support the planning, design, and implementation of wastewater treatment facilities and outfalls for smaller communities, helping ensure effective treatment, regulatory compliance, and long-term infrastructure performance.
We plan and design new sewage networks, pipelines, and associated infrastructure to support efficient wastewater management, future growth, and sustainable urban development.
We perform technical analyses of existing sewage systems to evaluate capacity, hydraulic performance, and infrastructure condition, helping clients prioritise investments, improve efficiency, and extend asset life.
We analyse runoff patterns and drainage requirements to develop surface water management plans that protect infrastructure, improve resilience, and support environmentally responsible stormwater management.
We create blue-green stormwater solutions that combine drainage infrastructure with natural water management features to improve runoff control, reduce environmental impacts, and support sustainable urban development.
We conduct flow measurements and wastewater sampling to assess hydraulic performance, monitor system conditions, and provide reliable data for planning, operation, and environmental compliance.
Verkís provides engineering and advisory services for wastewater systems, supporting the planning, design, construction, operation, and optimisation of sewer networks, pumping stations, treatment facilities, and associated infrastructure. Our specialists help ensure reliable service, environmental protection, and long-term infrastructure performance.
