Algeria let the company two design-build-operate contracts (with five-year operating franchises) for Taksebt (605,000 m3/day) through SNC Lavalin (Hydroplus 154 p. 10) and the 262,500 m3/day Athmania works in Constantine. (Algeria is the Maghreb country letting the most contracts at present.) In Tanzania, Degrémont is to build a 100,000 m3 per day water works for Mwanza Urban & Sewerage Authority and rehabilitate three plants in Dar Es Salam. The current differences between operator City Water Services and the government in the Tanzanian capital (Hydroplus 154 p. 10) have no impact on this type of contract. The list continues with two water works in Kinshasa for water supply utility Regidesco and three plants for Ovo State Water Corp at Ibadan in Nigeria. At this time, Degrémont is putting the final touches to the brand-new Ziga plant in Burkina Faso. In the wider world, the company is placing its hopes on desalination and sewerage in the Gulf, and on India and Egypt.Click here to visit Degrémont website.Click here to contact the editorial team of Hydroplus.
