AquaSure wins contract for Australia’s largest desal plant
T
he AquaSure Consortium, including Suez Environnement, Degremont, Thiess and Macquarie Capital Group, has won the contract to build Australia’s largest desalination plant in Victoria, Australia. The A$3.5 billion plant will ease tough water restrictions in the Melbourne area. The desalination plant will be built to deliver up to 150 billion litres of water a year, with the capacity to increase production to 200 billion litres if necessary. Financial close on the contract is expected by 4 September. AquaSure will begin construction in October 2009 on the desalination project, which will include the desalination plant itself, the 86 km transfer pipeline to connect to Melbourne’s existing network, the underground power source and renewable energy projects.
Decision reached on New Orleans pump stations
T
he US Army Corps of Engineers has finalized the locations for the permanent pump stations at the outfall canals in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. This approval designates the maximum footprint for the permanent closure structures and pump stations to be built at the three outfall canals, as authorized and funded by the US Congress. “This is a significant step in the process but, the Corps has not made any decisions on the types of pumps that will be used, or other technical specifications at this time,” said Col Robert Sinkler, commander of the Hurricane Protection Office. “We want to include the public in this process during design of the pump stations and the next phase of public meetings will provide that opportunity.” Once completed in late 2013, the new pumps will operate in series with the existing Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans pump stations. Demolition and removal
of the existing Interim Closure Structures would be required once construction of the new pump stations and closures structures is completed.
Sweco awarded water supply project in Jordan
U
nder a E12.7 million order, Sweden’s Sweco is to improve access to drinking water in Amman, Jordan. Sweco has been commissioned for project management and supervision of the largescale construction project which involves a new water supply system that will pump water from an aquifer in Rum in southern Jordan and transport it to Amman along a 350 km water pipeline. The work will be carried out for the Jordanian Government’s Ministry of Water and Irrigation, and will run for the next four years.
ADB calls for new solutions to meet Asia’s needs
A
sia’s incipient water crisis must be met with a mix of new solutions according to Arjun Thapan, director general of the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Southeast Asia Department. Speaking at the World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden, Thapan said that the new solutions included an aggressive business outlook, extensive use of new and emerging technologies, large-scale reuse of wastewater, going small-scale to plug gaps and better matching of irrigation systems with food security. “Asia’s water security is being challenged, paradoxically, by its own successes. The continent’s impressive growth in recent times has brought rapid urbanization, high rates of industrialization, and higher incomes in its wake. These have put huge pressures on Asia’s ability to manage its water resources,” said Thapan. “Our focus on solutions has been too narrow, and this has compromised poverty reduction efforts, productivity and growth.”
