Binnies is a water management business, helping clients across the globe to collect, store, move and treat water and wastewater, plan and manage watersheds and harness the energy embedded in the process. The company finds solutions that manage flood and coastal erosion risk and maintain and enhance the environment without compromising the needs of future generations.


Its asset management services offer a full-life-cycle approach that brings together strategy, finance, engineering, data and technology. Asset management experts support clients to set strategies, create effective asset plans, optimise investments, manage risks, lower costs and improve performance. Binnies is a corporate member of the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) and an IAM-endorsed trainer and assessor.

Binnies has collaborated with a series of digital technology partners to create ECO-X, a digital ecosystem offering a suite of services including digital twins, digital blueprints, data science, building information modelling (BIM), geographic information systems (GIS) and geospatial analysis. Binnies’ leading-edge digital transformation services create more resilient, reliable and intelligent solutions.

Binnies’ multidisciplinary environmental services team provides insights and solutions for sustainable critical infrastructure development and management across the whole asset life cycle in areas such as archaeology and heritage, carbon sustainability, ecology and diversity and habitat creation and management. This can be done via impact assessments, nature-based solutions, environmental and social due diligence and planning and environmental consent applications and management.

Binnies is committed to significantly reducing its own carbon footprint and supports and advises clients on their journeys towards net zero. The company has developed processes and procedures to quantify and baseline the scale of this challenge at a business or enterprise level and offers flood modelling to understand the resilience needs of communities and assets.

Binnies can provide nature-based solutions for the protection and sustainable management of natural environments, including the provision of connected green spaces, parks, ponds, trees, restorative measures for rivers and marshes, planting trees in cropped areas or supplementing hedgerows to enhance biodiversity and provide a longer-term sustainable solution.

Binnies is heavily involved in major flood risk delivery frameworks for the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and the Office of Public Works in Ireland, analysing issues, engaging with stakeholders, developing solutions, delivering funding justifications and designing for the largest and most complex flood-risk problems. Wider services include flood risk modelling and hydrology, business-case development, flood and coastal erosion risk management funding support, landscape visioning, river restoration and wetlands creation.

Binnies’ engineering design teams have the expertise to solve complex short- and long-term problems. Their services cover a wide breadth of technical disciplines, such as water process engineering, network modelling, hydraulics and reservoir services.
