Industrial Utilities

NIRAS has expertise in all areas of industrial utilities: gas, electricity, water, effluent, heating, cooling, compressed air and industrial gases. At NIRAS, we listen to your needs throughout the lifespan of the project. This ensures that utilities in your production facility receive the optimal location.

When we make utility installations, we make sure there is a close integration into the process equipment and buildings. At the same time, we advise you on how the utilities are best located to provide the most efficient working environment and assure the best possible safety.

Industrial utilities and sustainability

We acknowledge the importance of reducing compagnies consumption of energy, water, and other utilities. We therefore include a focus on sustainable use as a natural part of our services, from master planning to design projects, not only to reduce production costs but also to reduce the environmental footprint of projects.

Our experts in utilities can help your company optimise its operating expenses and improve its efforts towards more sustainable operation.

We carry out complete audits of clients’ utilities to assess capacity, condition and resilience, to identify areas of improvement, which can help your company save resources, money, and improve its sustainability record.

Close integration of utilities into production plants

For many years, NIRAS has accumulated a wealth of experience in designing utilities in relation to resource- and energy-friendly solutions for all types of food & beverage companies. We address all imaginable utility issues such as energy usage for heating, steam, cooling, refrigeration, etc., by using industry leading technologies.

When it comes to specific utilities like water [e.g. water for injection (WFI) and purified water (PW)], steam, compressed air and nitrogen, we ensure an efficient integration and focus on sustainable and energy efficient solutions.

Likewise, NIRAS’ experts can secure your company’s new innovative approaches to issues such as safe re-use of rinsed process water, and the recycling of treated effluent. In our projects we make use of the newest technologies to improve water efficiency in the global Food and Beverage industry.
