Two 5,000 m³ water reservoirs, three booster pumping stations and 9,540 m of carrier lines in the Al Amal and Al Sattar areas of Khan Younis, built so that groundwater can be blended with desalinated seawater before distribution. The contract (EuropeAid/137-778) was awarded by the Palestinian Ministry of Finance with European Union funding and supervised by CMWU.
Scope of work
- Two reinforced-concrete water reservoirs of 5,000 m³ each, with all mechanical and electrical works
- Al Amal booster pumping station with four vertical turbine pumps of 200 m³/h at 3.5 bar
- Two booster pumping stations for the Al Sattar reservoir, each with three vertical turbine pumps of 250 m³/h (at 7.5 bar and 6 bar)
- Supply and installation of 9,540 m of UPVC carrier lines from 110 to 355 mm
- Electrification of several existing water facilities
- Relocation and upgrade of an existing 70 m³/h municipal well: new borehole, well pumps, and manifold piping, equipment and instruments
