N$6 million investment for Aqua Services & Engineering

Gerine Hoff
To help the country save water and instil a culture of responsible water use, prominent Windhoek firm Aqua Services & Engineering (ASE), has spent N$6 million in upgrading its fleet.

ASE, a Veolia company, invested in a 12 tonne truck and 11 pick-ups to serve its customers nationwide and ensure speedy delivery of chemicals, equipment and maintenance crews.

“Aqua Services & Engineering is Namibia’s leading provider of water treat­ment solutions. This investment of N$6 million shows commitment to the Namib­ian water sector. With water shortages threatening large parts of the country, it is essential that we are avail­able to assist where needed to save water and offer a reliable and fast service to our customers,” said ASE Managing Director Luther Rukira.

ASE has also grown its staff complement from 60 to 72 employees in its offices in Windhoek and Walvis Bay, demonstrating the increased demand for intelligent water solutions in Namibia.

The company specialises in treatment of water and effluent, provision of chemicals, pumps, filters and maintenance.­ With diminishing water resources, the quality of water deteriorates and the right treatment becomes pivotal.

“We work with a large number of municipalities, manufacturers, mining companies, NamWater and other large water users. Increasingly, smart water solu­tions including reuse or secondary use of water, becomes the norm,” Rukira said.

“Companies and municipalities simply cannot afford to waste water any longer. We can assist in optimising water use. Treatment of waste water and effluent also becomes key in preventing pollu­tion of surface and groundwater resources,­ to build a sustainable water supply for the future. Our motto is: Recycle the water, not the pollution.”

From its base in Windhoek’s northern industrial area, ASE has been responsible­ for the construction of more than 150 water and waste water treatment facilities, providing an excellent base to drive the future development of the firm.

“ASE has gained in-depth knowledge of water treatment in all its facets. Backed by Veolia’s ground breaking technology, ASE gained the capability to meet any requirements in potable water, waste water and industrial or mining water treatment, ” the company said.

ASE’s Namibian innovations include a trickling filter technology for domestic waste water treatment that has received substantial foreign interest with plants already supplied to Tanzania, Angola, Congo, South Africa and elsewhere.

The company also offers pro-active maintenance and a wide range of chemical supply services, as well as the provision of pre-paid water meters.

“ASE is, therefore, proud to offer its services while bringing value to both clients and consumers, ensuring that our environment is responsibly maintained,” Rukira concluded.
