MACC has received the letter of award for Contract 1 of the KfW-funded Gaza Central Wastewater Project: the new 60,000 m³/day Central Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant at Buriej and the Wadi Gaza Central Pumping Station.

MACC has received the letter of award for Contract 1 of the Gaza Central Wastewater Project: the design and construction of the new Central Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant at Buriej and the Wadi Gaza Central Pumping Station, for the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility with KfW funding and supervision by Dorsch International Consultants.

The plant will treat 60,000 m³/day in its first phase, with a peak of 5,000 m³/h, on a site designed for 180,000 m³/day. It uses conventional activated sludge with primary clarifiers, four aeration tanks and four final settlement tanks, and anaerobic digesters with biogas CHP generators and belt-press dewatering. The Wadi Gaza pumping station, with three dry-installed pumps of 2,790 m³/h each, will deliver the wastewater through a DN1200 pressure main to the plant inlet.

MACC's scope covers design support and mobilisation, all concrete structures and buildings, roads, ductile-iron and HDPE piping, the 22 kV power connection and two years of operation assistance. The contract is valued at EUR 21,564,701.
