MACC completes about 80% of the civil works at the Salfeet Wastewater Treatment Plant

MACC has completed about 80% of the civil works at the Salfeet Wastewater Treatment Plant in the West Bank, a design-build and operation contract for the Municipality of Salfeet funded by KfW.

By the end of December 2020 MACC had completed about 80% of the total civil works at the Salfeet Wastewater Treatment Plant, eighteen months after mobilising on site in June 2019.

The plant is being designed and built by MACC for the Municipality of Salfeet under the KfW-funded Salfeet Sewerage Project, supervised by GITEC-IGIP. It is designed to treat about 1,900 m³/day for around 20,000 population equivalent using two Imhoff tanks, two trickling filters and two final sedimentation tanks, with five sludge drying beds and a 248 kW solar PV plant.

The civil works comprise the inlet works, the two 23.4 m × 7.1 m Imhoff tanks, the two 12.5 m diameter trickling filters, the two 15 m diameter final sedimentation tanks, five 30 m × 12 m drying beds and the operational and administration buildings. Electromechanical installation and commissioning follow, ahead of two years of operation and maintenance by MACC.
