Built + Beyond
It’s a podcast. It’s a think-tank. It’s about architecture, design, engineering, construction, energy, environment, resiliency…you get the drift. We have guests. We have insight. We talk about technical stuff, real stuff, future stuff, data stuff, digital stuff. (And getting all the sweet keywords into our intro description). We chat about the built and natural environment. We agree, we agree to disagree, we share trends and knowledge and cool tools. We invite you to listen.

Wastewater Treatment – Challenges, Innovations, and the Road Ahead
Get ready to dive deep into the world of wastewater treatment. In this episode, we’re tackling how this vital process safeguards both human health and the environment while adapting to the unique challenges faced by regions, specifically the UK and Canada.
What to Expect:
Every wastewater treatment plant has its own story, shaped by the needs and challenges of its community. From aging infrastructure to population growth, we explore the complexities and the tailored approaches that make each plant tick.
Topics Covered:
Technology & Innovation: Discover how integrating technology and innovation with cutting-edge tools like carbon accounting and supporting trial and testing programs are revolutionizing the water industry.
Climate Change Impact: Explore operational strategies to combat the growing threat of climate change with a focus on mitigating, reducing and eliminating carbon emissions.
Budget Realities: Wastewater treatment is as much about economics as it is about science. We’ll discuss how holistic approaches help balance the books while meeting critical goals.
Emerging Challenges: From aging assets to new contaminants, we unpack the hurdles and the opportunities they bring.
Looking to the Future:
We’ll also share insights on how clients and stakeholders can prepare for a rapidly changing future, keeping sustainability, innovation and resilience at the forefront.
