The challenges of effective construction site water management

On a construction site, water is never a trivial matter.
Between rainfall, dewatering, equipment washdowns and welfare facility effluents, every site generates volumes of polluted water with constantly changing characteristics. Add to this space constraints, tight deadlines and a strict regulatory framework to comply with.
That is why Nomado offers prefabricated, robust and tailored solutions, designed to adapt to every phase of your project and ensure compliant discharge — even in the most demanding environments.

Managing highly variable polluted water

Concrete laitance, dewatering, tunnel boring sludge, equipment washwater, welfare facility effluents...

→ Nomado designs tailored solutions capable of treating a wide variety of water streams through a modular architecture and rigorous selection of the appropriate processes.

Operating in challenging conditions

Difficult access, limited space, temporary site or remote from networks.

→ Our containerised units are compact, transportable and self-contained, ideal for rapid deployment on remote or constrained sites.

Meeting regulatory requirements

ICPE, Water Law, prefectural orders: standards are strict and constantly evolving.

→ Nomado supports you in ensuring compliant discharge, with units sized to meet current regulatory thresholds.

We treat all your water streams

Runoff water

On construction sites, runoff water can quickly become a source of diffuse pollution. Laden with suspended solids (TSS), hydrocarbons or other contaminants, it must be treated before discharge to the natural environment or drainage network. Nomado offers prefabricated solutions designed to manage these variable flows efficiently and in full compliance.

Hydrocarbon and pollutant treatment to meet target quality standards
Variable flow management: rain events or large surface areas
Compact solutions, easy to connect on-site

Dewatering water

During underground works or excavations, dewatering is essential. But this water can carry sediments, suspended solids and pollutants that must be treated before discharge. Nomado provides prefabricated and adapted systems to ensure compliant management of these unpredictable flows.

Treatment of TSS, clays, sand and hydrocarbons
Connection-ready solutions
Simple operation, low maintenance
Compatible with natural environment discharge (prefectural order, Water Law)

Tunnel boring water

Tunnel boring machines generate large volumes of water heavily laden with fine particles, bentonite slurries, polymers or additives. This water must be treated before discharge or recirculation. Nomado offers high-performance containerised installations to ensure solid/liquid separation, dewatering and regulatory compliance.

Management of high TSS loads (up to several g/L)
Gravity pre-treatment + complementary treatment
Suited to large-scale sites (high flow rates, continuous operation)
Compliance with ICPE requirements and natural environment discharge standards

Concrete batching plant water

Truck mixer washdowns, mixer cleaning, skips, rinse areas… Concrete batching plants generate highly alkaline water laden with suspended solids. These discharges must be treated before release. Nomado offers prefabricated units capable of separating, neutralising and filtering this water to ensure full compliance.

Treatment of TSS, concrete laitance and alkaline water (pH > 10)
Automatic pH neutralisation + solid/liquid separation
Modular system suited to fixed or mobile batching plants
Fast commissioning, minimal civil works, small footprint
Compliance with ICPE regulations (2518 / 2522)
