Practical Solutions: It's All About Water


Water is of vital importance to every living organism on the planet; necessary for sustenance, evolution and progress.

Water means different things to different people and while often associated with peace and harmony, it has the tremendous power to shift mountains and destroy cities. Every one of us is a user and also a manager of water, yet we take it for granted. We must understand that without water there will be nothing.

At IV Water we consider a full water cycle on projects that involve collection, delivery, treatment storage and supply of water and in the management of wastewater, drainage and flooding.

Why do we talk about practical solutions. Well, firstly, as we had mentioned already, we have a proven track record in the water infrustructure industry. And secondly, our experience covers many facets of the industry making us a water infrastructure specialist. But there is more.

Yes, our focus is on providing practical solutions to our customers. That means you, of course. However, our most valued customer is the environment and we must ensure that it receives an equal share of our services, because a happy environment makes everyone happy.


Stormwater Harvesting and Management Specialists


We manage and harvest stormwater using principles of sustainability and liveability that deliver the best economic, social and environmental outcomes for all, now and in the future.

We offer a full suite of services required for planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of successful stormwater schemes.

We provide practical water management solutions to complex engineering projects.

Stormwater Harvesting achieves the principles of integrated water management within the space constraints of an urban environment and reduces the volume of stormwater run-off to local drains and waterways, cools down our environment and helps to ease the risk of flooding. It also reduces the impact of pollution on water quality and stream flow and helps to meet the water conservation objectives.

Well designed, built and maintained stormwater harvesting scheme is a great way to manage water, helping the environment, and creating a money-saver for any business to harness natures own, water.


Water Infrastructure Experts


Our experience in water infrastructure design spans over a decade of hard work and dedication to the stormwater cause. The required skills and expertise have been developed via involvement in a variety but also a complexity of iconic projects like EastLink and Melbourne Airport business park as well as a series of smaller subdivisional type projects where the constructability and cost effectiveness of the design solutions were tested against the strict Authority requirements (e.g. Melbourne Water) and operational and maintenance considerations.

This is a list of water infrastructure services that we can offer, however we are engineering and project management professionals not only in water infrsutructure industry:


Operation, Maintenance and Water Integration Specialists


Our extensive experience in water management, spanning from drainage and WSUD to stormwater harvesting, allowed us to manage budgets and assist our customers in realising savings within their annual operation and maintenance budgets through functional design and precise system of inspection and maintenance planning.

We remain committed to working with our customers to deliver integrated water services in ways that provide value for money while enhancing the liveability of current and future generations.

Specialist consultant in integrated water management. Iouri has many years of experience innovating stormwater and recycled water solutions - what we need as we face more climate changes and population fluxes across Australia.

- Peter Morison, C.E.O., VICWATER 

Iouri from IV Water had contributed at our Australian Water Recycling Forums and I found the project case studies he presented on water recyling, Water reuse, and storm water management were really excellent.

- Jay Nair, Poject Director, IBR Conferences 

Iouri's knowledge of Water infrastructure and design is second to none along with sustainable water outcomes.

- Craig Rothleitner, Director and Founder, ARI Water Solutions 

if your after a fully integrated water management solution from survey, design, implementation to commissioning and maintenance then you should have a chat with Iouri from IV Water for your next WSUD Stormwater Harvesting Project.

- Stephen Herd, Australasian Manager, Fraenkische  

 

In my time leading the Stormwater Quality team at Melbourne Water, I had the benefit of engaging Iouri (IV Water) to prepare a roadmap for an independent verification scheme for stormwater treatment devices. This was challenging work and proved valuable in revealing the benefits of a scheme that would progress stormwater treatment. In addition to his critical work on the stormwater harvesting guidelines, Iouri went beyond the brief to drive the change. Iouri's passion for the progressing industry is striking and is evident in his strong work ethic.

We have used IV Water for multiple jobs at different sites in Victoria. Having first used them to design a fueling and wash down bays at Grantville and the speed and detail in which we got all the drawings and calculations has been why I continue to use them for other jobs for Holcim. They always make time to come to look at the problem/issue, take the time to understand what the client needs and have all the computations back within the time they say they will have it done. Very satisfied with their professionalism and expertise, and always just a phone call away.

Aeramix were engaged by Power & Water to design, construct and integrate a new 2.5 ML re-use water tank and associated works. Aeramix had the privilege of working collaboratively with IV Water directly with Iouri during the design and construction and integration phase. This was a very successful project for all stakeholders and we would have no problem working with Iouri and the IV Water team on any future projects.

Cole Harvey, C.E.O., AERAMIX PTY LTD

 

In my dealings with Iouri (Director of IV Water) his breadth and understanding of the technical aspects of stormwater harvesting systems has been exemplary, He continually scans the industry for best practice solutions and has openly shared his experience and knowledge demonstrating his commitment achieving high quality results.

The Alice Water Smart Recycled Water Scheme (the Scheme), funded by the Commonwealth was implemented to reduce the dependency on the drinking water supply by some of Alice Spring's commercial water users for irrigation and non-potable purposes. The 6ML/ day Scheme started development in 2012, achieved Class A+ supply approval in 2014 and is now connecting commercial users. The project to develop the Scheme involved augmenting the current DAF plant with additional gravity filtration and UV disinfection treatment barriers, building a new 2.5ML storage tank, constructing an additional 5 kms of network supply pipework and customer meter arrangements as well as modifying commercial user's site pipework.

Following an initial pilot filtration treatment investigation by Power and Water Corporation (PWC), IV Water were contracted to assist in finalising a Design and Construct tender treatment solution. IV Water provided expert advice on full scale treatment solutions, the tender scope. IV Water also assisted in pre-selecting suitable tenderers for a full-scale treatment package that included gravity or pressure filtration and UV disinfection. The required solution had to also consider the existing underperforming DAF plant and include opportunity to improve its performance along with the new treatment.

IV Water provided careful advice during the tender process to evaluate the best value for money solutions that balanced the operational and capital requirements to upgrade existing treatment and incorporate new treatment solutions that met the regulatory water quality performance requirements.

In the design phase and early construction phase of the contract IV Water also provided expert project management advice and early technical engagement with operational staff and contractors.

Optimising the existing DAF treatment and augmenting new treatment under a single Design and Construct contract was complex and achieving a regulatory approved solution within budget was testament to IV Water's skills, knowledge and experience being applied early in the tender formation and construction phases.

Filter safe LTD. have used the services of Iouri Vaisman (IV Water) several times to assist us with finding relevant information concerning the Australian water treatment market. We have found Iouri's contacts and knowledge of the market very useful.

Etai Dagan, C.E.O., FILTER SAFE

 

Iouri Vaisman (Director of IV Water) is a knowledgeable and passionate engineer who I had the pleasure of working with in Queensland on a number of large water recycling projects for the mining sector and communities surrounding these areas. Iouri was the crucial part of our team and excelled in technical and business development activities. I look forward to working with Iouri again in the future.

Graeme Saunders, Vice President, MITSUI & CO (NZ) LTD

 

I have had the pleasure of working with the team at IV Water when managing the Western Courts Stormwater Harvesting augmentation project in 2019. The project was delivered by Melbourne & Olympic Parks Trust (MOPT), in partnership with City West Water.

IV Water's activities included the design and construction of a 380m long pipeline to transfer run-off water captured from Western Courts catchment to an existing flood chamber at Melbourne Park for treatment, then on to irrigate recreational ovals and open spaces within MOP's sporting precinct.

The work performed by IV Water was in compliance with City West Water requirements meeting the stakeholders objectives and project timelines. IV Water provided project oversight supervision, quality auditing during construction and developed documentation including commissioning plans that allowed the works to be safely tested and integrated into the existing treatment plant.

I would highly recommend IV Water to anybody looking for a genuine team of professional engineers that has excellent proven knowledge and capability in their space. A fantastic experience throughout all dealings.

Tom Stephanou, IWM & Liveability Team Leader, CITY WEST WATER

 

I worked among civil engineering professionals over the last 10 years and Iouri (Director and Founder of IV Water) stands out as a problem solver with great expertise in water infrastructure and engineering. IV Water has always made an effort to clarify all stages from planning to implementation. I believe it is of vital importance to work with someone who is direct and provides practical solutions in a simple way so that all stakeholders regardless of their background can understand all parts and are ready to move to the next stage with full understanding. Australia's sustainable future relies on innovative and dedicated people like IV Water team. Browsing through IV Water's projects on their website this becomes apparent.

I can't praise enough the level of professionalism and expertise of Iouri and the team at IV Water. They have been very helpful, honest and open in the evaluation and assessment of the possibility of stormwater reuse for one of Glenelg Shire Council's pools. They took on the project with a tight time frame and budget and managed to produce a shovel ready project. They were able to think 'outside of the box' and come up with an option that utilises and builds onto existing infrastructure. I look forward to engaging their services in the future and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Adam Smith, Environmental Sustainability Coordinator, Glenelg Shire Council
