Why we exist
Wasted water is money already out of the till
T&D was born in 2018, in Macaé, when two neighbours from the oil and gas industry set out to solve the water consumption of their own residential complex. The method that worked there became a company.
Since then, we have developed our own technology and methodology to measure, correct and sustain the water efficiency of medium and large operations. The result shows up on our clients’ bills and in their ESG indicators.
For founding partner Camillo Torquato, raised in the semi-arid Northeast of Brazil, water scarcity is a personal matter, and that origin still guides the company’s work today.
We serve hospitals, retail chains, industry, educational institutions, hotels, shopping centres and residential complexes in 47 cities across 9 states, with the same technical standard in every operation.
