In August 2022 MACC completed Contract 1 of the KfW-funded Gaza Central Wastewater Project, including two years of operation assistance for the 60,000 m³/day Central Gaza WWTP at Buriej and the Wadi Gaza Central Pumping Station.
In August 2022 MACC reached the end of Contract 1 of the Gaza Central Wastewater Project. The new Central Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant at Buriej and the Wadi Gaza Central Pumping Station were taken over in August 2020, and the contract closed with two years of operation assistance to CMWU, the plant's owner.
Under the KfW-funded contract, supervised by Dorsch International Consultants, MACC delivered the design support and mobilisation, all concrete structures and buildings, about 21,000 m² of roads, ductile-iron and HDPE piping, the 22 kV GEDCO power connection and the operation assistance. Excavation alone amounted to 186,377 m³.
The plant treats 60,000 m³/day in its first phase, on a site designed for 180,000 m³/day, using conventional activated sludge with anaerobic digesters, a 1,500 m³ gas holder and biogas CHP generators. The Wadi Gaza pumping station delivers wastewater to the plant through a DN1200 pressure main.
