Case Study: Engineering Nationwide Water Infrastructure for Walmart Mexico

When a global leader like Walmart de México y Centroamérica needs to ensure the operational integrity and environmental compliance of its vast network of retail units, they require a partner with proven, large scale capabilities. NORDUG was entrusted with a series of critical projects to survey, design, and maintain the essential hydro-sanitary infrastructure for their stores across the nation.

The Challenge

The primary challenge was the sheer scale and complexity of the operation. Walmart's portfolio includes numerous store formats, each with unique infrastructure needs. The project demanded a partner capable of executing detailed engineering projects consistently across multiple states, while adhering to the stringent standards of both Walmart's legal department and its environmental compliance area.

NORDUG's Comprehensive Solution

To meet this challenge, we provided a multi-faceted solution that covered every aspect of their hydro-sanitary needs:

• 
  

  Executive Project Design: We developed the complete executive projects for potable water, storm drainage, and sanitary sewer networks for a wide range of Walmart stores, including the Bodega Aurrera format.

  
  
• 
  

  Nationwide Surveys & Diagnostics: Our teams conducted extensive on-site surveys and diagnostics of hydro-sanitary networks, gas emission equipment, and hazardous waste storage facilities. These assessments, sometimes covering over 100 units in a single phase, were fundamental for Walmart's environmental compliance reporting.

  
  
• 
  

  Specialized Maintenance Services: We managed quarterly maintenance contracts for essential services like grease trap cleaning and drainage clearing for Walmart's conservation department across states such as Hidalgo, Morelos, and Veracruz.

  
  

The Result

Through our systematic and detail-oriented approach, NORDUG delivered a standardized, compliant, and highly efficient water management infrastructure for Walmart's national operations. Our work minimized operational risks, guaranteed environmental regulatory compliance, and supported the seamless daily function of one of the world's largest retail empires. This ongoing partnership is a testament to our ability to manage complex, large-scale projects for the most demanding clients.
