Welcome Ben Caplikas to Urban Water Solutions

Urban Water Solutions has added a new engineer to our rapidly expanding (relatively speaking) workforce.

Environmental Engineer Ben Caplikas joined us in mid-September 2023 and was immediately put to work on one of the many network modelling projects that we currently have in progress.

An honors graduate from RMIT University, Ben comes to UWS with over 2-years’ of experience in contaminated land management but is rapidly finding his feet as a hydraulic modeller.

Celebration of work performed on Greater Western Water Engineering Services Panel

Six-years’ of partnership in delivering engineering services to Greater Western Water was celebrated recently at Beca’s Melbourne office. Urban Water Solutions (UWS) is one of a team of consultants led by CH2M Beca, who were originally appointed to Western Water’s Engineering Services Panel in 2017.

Following Western Water’s merger with City West Water, the services offered by the Panel now extends to all Greater Western Water’s licence area.

The event provided an opportunity for all consultants, who have partnered with CH2M Beca, to gather socially and for many, it was the first time that partners were able to meet face to face.

Matt Bismark, Beca, congratulated the Panel team on their contribution to the massive program of works necessary to provide water supply and sewerage services to one of the fastest growing regions in Victoria. With the formation of Greater Western Water, the panel now has a significantly larger capital works plan to deliver than anticipated in 2017.

CH2M Beca used the gathering as an opportunity to recognise the contribution of individuals to the panel by presenting awards. Stuart Stapely was proud to accept the award for “Model Consultant” on behalf of UWS.

Thank you to the organisers, especially Shathie and Ben of Beca, for hosting this entertaining and enjoyable event.
