Who We Are....

We have a proven track record of delivering lasting solutions which we design based on a first principles approach.

Our priority is to get the engineering fundamentals right.

Fingleton White is a company that has been built on sustainability.

Our very first project was a hydroelectric power station.

Over our 40-year history, we have developed our own projects which have delivered CO emissions savings of well over 2 million tonnes.

We are focussed on reducing our carbon footprint and having a positive impact on our environment and communities through our biodiversity initiatives, our energy efficiency programmes and implementing sustainable development targets.

The Engineered water cycle involves abstracting water from the environment, treating it to the highest quality to ensure that there is no risk to human health and then distributing that water to homes and businesses via public or private networks.

Used water or wastewater then poses an environmental risk and needs to be cleaned before it can be discharged.

All of these processes require energy and other resources so maximising the efficiency is essential.

The impacts of climate change along with increased regulations and demands on water systems means that our water division is busy designing key infrastructure and bespoke solutions for a sustainable future.

Our people are our only asset and are our USP.

Our people are key to everything we do.
