Arup's environmental services engineers (also known as public health engineers) tackle a range of design challenges. Additionally, on some projects, our environmental services engineers also carry out civil engineering tasks such as below ground drainage design, flood risk analysis and specialist road and pavement designs along with associated earthworks required for new and existing building construction.     

Global water scarcity is on the rise and the design of sustainable water management systems helps save water and the energy associated with its use, from pumping to heating.
