MACC has completed 70% of the civil construction works on the 14,000 m³/day SWRO process plant that forms the second-phase expansion of the Southern Gaza Desalination Plant in Deir Al Balah.
By late February 2020 MACC had completed 70% of the civil construction works on the RO 14,000 plant in Deir Al Balah, the second-phase expansion of the Southern Gaza Desalination Plant.
The design-build contract with UNICEF (contract 43264708), funded by the European Union, adds a 14,000 m³/day seawater reverse-osmosis process plant to the existing 6,000 m³/day plant that MACC built in Phase 1. The expanded plant will produce 20,000 m³/day for about 250,000 people in the Khan Younis and Rafah governorates.
The civil works include the main steel-structure process building of about 1,500 m², tanks totalling 1,450 m³ including a 700 m³ intermediate tank and a 500 m³ flushing tank, five new beach wells with well rooms and shore protection, roads and site works. Electromechanical installation of the five SWRO trains follows.
