Doha: Qatar's mega water supply engineering E-bid project, constructed by Chinese construction major CGGC, has been launched smoothly.
"The water supply line installation -- the first node duration of this project, has been launched smoothly, 15 days earlier than planned, getting a good beginning of project management and laying a solid foundation for the overall project performance," CGGC announced in China.
The first node work includes 11.2km DN1200-1600mm pipe installation, covering 14 valve stations and 16 anchorage blocks along the line. The members of the Project Department have acquitted themselves of suppliers' audit, ordering, inspection, transportation, customs clearance, external corrosion prevention, pipe ditch excavation and other preparations splendidly. Currently, they are engaged in the valve station and anchorage block construction.
As the first supplier participated in the node duration of this engineering contract, the joint venture led by CGGC has been highly praised by the project owner with its outstanding performance progress, excellent construction quality and high-effective field management.
The groundbreaking ceremony of Mega Reservoir PRPSs (Packages E) contracted by CGGC No 5 Company and CGGC International Company was held in the presence of the Prime minister and the Interior Minister H E Abdullah bin Khalid Al Thani at Umm Silal'ait, on May 12, 2015.
An integrated water supply system is to be formed once Mega Reservoir PRPSs, one of the largest reservoirs in the world, connected to seawater desalination plants around Mega Reservoir. The project is helpful to promote safety of drinking water for local residents and advance local economic development. Mega Reservoir PRPSs (Packages E), with construction period of 36 months, located in 30km from Doha, includes five main reservoirs with 496 thousand cubic meters, one pressure pump station, 33.2km long main pipes and auxiliary facilities.
The project forms the part of Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation's (Kahramaa) key decision to launch an ambitious water project to provide strategic water storage within its network system.
The first phase of the project will provide the 7 days of storage for the expected water demand at horizon 2026, with 5 mega reservoir sites. The second phase will provide the seven days of water storage for expected demand in 2036 by adding additional reservoirs within the 5 mega reservoirs sites.
