Desalination
As existing fresh water supplies become depleted, alternative sources are necessary to prevent humanitarian crises. SAIC helps create new fresh water supplies in vulnerable areas with advanced water treatment solutions such as desalination.
Life-Cycle Project Delivery
Desalination via the use of membrane technology as a treatment process to enhance public drinking water supplies is increasingly becoming a viable economic solution to drinking water shortages due to climate change and resulting drought, explosive population growth, and man-made waste.
From conception through completion of construction and beyond into rate structure analyses and continuing evaluation of operations and performance, SAIC helps provides customers with a life-cycle project delivery approach for cost-effective and innovative solutions that harness the latest advance in desalination technologies.
Integrated Capabilities
Because desalination is an energy-intensive process typically restricted to potentially vulnerable coastal communities, SAIC solutions integrate broad capabilities ranging from engineering and design to environmental management, business consulting, and project implementation. We work with technology vendors, and local stakeholders to develop solutions that are cost-efficient and reliable, compliant with applicable regulations, and acceptable to impacted communities.
