MACC handed over Contract 2 (civil works) of the Gaza Central Sewerage Project to the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility in February 2012. The final contract value is EUR 6,062,893. The works are now in the commissioning and defects liability period, which runs until the end of December 2013.

Contract 2 of the KfW-funded Emergency Works Programme covered the civil construction, installation and commissioning for the upgrade of the Sheikh Ajleen (Gaza Central) Wastewater Treatment Plant to 90,000 m³/day. MACC built four octagonal trickling filters, each 7 m high on a 602 m² base, the new pumping station PS1 with its standby generator building, a DN600 ductile-iron pressure main of 4,347 m from PS1 to the plant and a DN500 main of 700 m from PS2 to PS1, together with the inlet works, sludge ponds and drying beds. The new units were built alongside the existing ones so the plant stayed in operation.

MACC also installed and tested the equipment it had supplied under Contract 1, completing the programme for CMWU under the supervision of Dorsch International Consultants.
