Water Resources Development & Management
Dams, water supply, boreholes and river works, with the drainage, flood and erosion control that protects them.
Capabilities
Water infrastructure has been central to Sato's work for decades, with clients including the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority, state water corporations, the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and the World Bank.
Flood and erosion control, river training, drainage and groundwater development are delivered by the same teams, because on most of these schemes they are one job.
Water is the infrastructure type that draws on all four disciplines at once. A scheme is treated as one job from source to tap, rather than as a civil contract with other trades attached to it.
- Earth dam construction
- Irrigation development
- Water supply scheme construction and rehabilitation, including intake structures and pump houses
- Water treatment facilities
- Sewage systems
- Borehole drilling, including solar-powered boreholes, with our own drilling rig
- Hydrogeology and groundwater development
- River dredging and stream channelization
- Flood and erosion control
Solutions
Dams and irrigation
Earth dam construction and irrigation development, including cut-off trenches, embankments, spillways and the associated civil structures.
Water supply schemes
Intake works, treatment, storage, pumping and distribution, built new or rehabilitated, together with the mechanical and electrical plant that runs them.
Groundwater development
Hydrogeological investigation and borehole drilling with our own rig, including solar-powered boreholes where there is no dependable grid supply.
River works, flood and erosion control
Dredging, channelization, river training and drainage, delivered by the same teams as the schemes they protect.
Bulk metering and water accounting
Supply and installation of bulk and consumer metering, so a water undertaking can measure what it produces against what it bills. Sato has delivered this at scale for state water corporations and development programmes.
