Casagrande S.p.A., a company that has specialised in the design and production of large-sized construction site equipment for over fifty-five years, has chosen to install a water treatment system supplied by Water Energy for the recovery and recirculation of waste water from its coating department. Such strategic choice has transformed one of its the biggest items of expenditure into a growth opportunity, both in terms of health and safety of the working environment and of sustainable development of production.

The recovery of waste water from industrial processes is one of the most discussed topics when explaining the concept of circular economy, so widely debated in recent times. The volumes of water used in production processes and, in particular, in the coating ones, are difficult to quantify but certainly impressive. However, water is one of the resources whose recovery is facilitated by the implementation of proper management systems and the technological development of treatment plants for water recovery. Indeed, these can even transform the costs related to water disposal into a growth opportunity for companies.

Casagrande S.p.A., a company specialising in the design and production of special foundation equipment such as piling rigs, diaphragm systems, and soil investigation, anchors drilling, micro piling, jet-grouting, and tunnelling equipment since 1963, has always paid particular attention to environmental issues, including water usage optimisation.

About a year ago, the company decided to invest in a new water treatment solution, relying on Water Energy (Bologna, Italy) for its design and installation because its staff is highly passionate and expert in its sector, just like Casagrande's one is in its target market.
