Project Overview

Canterra Builders played a key role in the capacity upgrade and modernization of the Brno-Modrice Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Czech Republic. The goal was to meet rising urban population demands and tighten environmental regulations by executing critical enhancements. Our team successfully delivered advanced biological and chemical treatment system integration into the existing infrastructure, ensuring operational continuity and superior environmental performance throughout the complex, phased project.

Key Challenges & Solutions

• Minimizing Downtime

  The plant needed to remain operational during the upgrade. Solution: Deployed modular upgrades in carefully sequenced phases to ensure zero service interruption.

• Regulatory Demands

  Implementing treatment innovations to meet tougher pollutant discharge thresholds and EU water framework directives. Solution: Integrated next-generation biological and chemical treatment systems with existing infrastructure.

• Legacy Infrastructure

  Modernizing aging systems while maintaining structural integrity and compatibility with newer technologies. Solution: Carefully assessed and upgraded critical components to ensure seamless long-term operation.

• Safety and Exposure

  Managing robust safety controls for a high-risk site involving wastewater exposure and confined space protocols. Solution: Maintained rigorous HSEQ training and mandatory safety audits across all construction activities.
