About us
Brightwater offers a professional turn-key service. This extends from the initial concept and design engineering, production of full working drawings, workshop manufacture, site installation to final start-up commissioning with full project management and total quality control throughout. With its associated companies, Brightwater is large enough to tackle most projects but small enough to still offer clients personalised service.

Brightwater also offers the option of several Build Own and Operate scenarios.
BOO (Build Own & Operate), BO (Build & Operate) and BOOT (Build Own Operate and Transfer of Ownership).

Innovation
Brightwater’s ongoing focus is to provide solutions to clients’ problems particularly in the materials handling field. The first stage of this process is to get alongside their clients and identify either:

  • the problem they have or,
  • the potential added value to their operation by handling their materials more effectively or,
  • the cost reductions and environmental advantages of utilising new technologies.

This requires a commitment to innovation and the use of worldwide best practice technology and equipment.
