MACC has completed all site mobilisation works for the supply and installation of the North Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant, clearing the way for construction to begin under the NGEST project.
In December 2010 MACC completed all the mobilisation works needed at the site of the North Gaza Emergency Sewage Treatment (NGEST) project, under the contract for the supply and installation of the North Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant. With the site offices, access and preparations in place, the team was ready to start construction.
The plant is being built for the Palestinian Water Authority with World Bank funding to serve Jabalia, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun. It is designed for 35,600 m³/day using activated sludge with nitrogen removal, with two anaerobic digesters whose biogas covers about 60% of the plant's power demand, and treated effluent recharged to the aquifer through nine infiltration basins.
MACC's scope covers the civil works for all treatment units, the buildings, infrastructure and internal roads, and the installation of the electromechanical works, a contract valued at US$ 40,167,000.
