Water & Waste

Turning every cubic meter of water and every ton of waste into a source of lasting value.

Our expertise

Drinking water, wastewater treatment, waste collection, sorting, and recovery: these essential services now play a central role in resource management and the circular economy. Through its Energy & Environment practice, TNP helps local authorities, operators, and industrial companies transform their businesses.

We combine strategic vision with operational discipline to transform your operations from end to end. We believe your next opportunities to improve performance lie within your existing facilities, data, and teams. Our role is to uncover them, quantify them, and make them last.

Networks and performance:

Reduce water losses, with nearly one liter in five still lost before reaching the end user, and prioritize the replacement of aging assets.

Water resources and public health compliance:

Anticipate the impact of droughts on facilities, contribute to France’s Water Plan target of reducing water withdrawals by 10% by 2030, comply with the revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, and address micropollutants, including PFAS.

Energy transition:

Decarbonize facilities and work toward energy neutrality through anaerobic digestion and on-site energy generation and use of renewable energy.

Circularity and materials:

Improve source separation and prevent biowaste generation, while securing markets for recycled materials.

Financing and rate affordability:

Fund the substantial investments required to address PFAS, the revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, biowaste, and asset renewal, using total-cost analysis and data to guide trade-offs while keeping rates affordable for users.

Talent attraction and skills:

Attract, train, and retain employees, ensure service continuity, and retain critical technical knowledge as large numbers of experienced specialists leave the workforce.

Our services

Informing strategic choices and identifying profit improvement opportunities:

We assess your performance against international benchmarks, analyze your market, identify opportunities to improve profitability, and work with you to build a shared roadmap, from senior leadership to operations teams.

Supporting successful acquisitions:

We support operators and investors at every stage, from target identification and strategic due diligence to post-acquisition integration.

Optimizing operational performance:

We uncover opportunities to improve your operations through collection route optimization, increased availability of sorting facilities and waste-to-energy plants, development of biowaste value chains and markets for recycled materials, and cross-site benchmarking.

Managing assets based on criticality:

We establish asset management processes and tools, including predictive maintenance, prioritization of areas at risk of leaks, and investment decisions based on life-cycle costs.

Turning data into decisions:

We improve the reliability of data from remote meter reading, supervisory systems, computerized maintenance management systems, and traceability tools, and deploy performance indicators and AI use cases that deliver practical value to your teams.

Accelerating the transition and building resilience:

We develop roadmaps to reduce energy use and carbon emissions, embed compliance requirements for PFAS and other micropollutants, assess future water availability scenarios, and adapt organizations and skills to emerging roles in water and waste management.
