From Ideas to Delivery: Conversations at the World Water Congress

Day one of the International Water Association World Water Congress & Exhibition 2026 brought together water professionals from across the industry to discuss the challenges, innovations and opportunities shaping the future of the sector.

Across the day, the Coftec team engaged in conversations with utilities, consultants, contractors and technology providers, covering topics including water treatment, modular infrastructure, process optimisation and emerging project opportunities.

As part of Coffey, Coftec combines specialist water and wastewater treatment expertise with Coffey’s experience in engineering, construction and project delivery. Together, we support clients throughout the entire project lifecycle, from initial concept and design through to construction, commissioning and completion.

The discussions taking place at the world water congress reinforce the growing demand for practical, scalable solutions that can be delivered efficiently while meeting operational and environmental requirements.

The event continues throughout the week, and the team remains at Stand 120.

If you’re attending, stop by Stand 120 to discuss your next project, share your challenges, and explore how Coffey and Coftec can help take ideas from concept to completion. Joe Gleeson and the Team look forward to meeting you.
