Project Overview
This project, undertaken for the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority, involves comprehensive operation, maintenance, and training services for the Water Treatment Plant, Fire Fighting System, and Wastewater Treatment Plant at Sharm El-Sheikh Airport. The project aims to ensure the continuous, efficient, and reliable operation of essential water and wastewater infrastructure while maintaining compliance with operational standards, environmental regulations, and aviation safety requirements. In addition to operation and maintenance activities, the project includes specialised training programmes to enhance the technical capabilities of operation and maintenance personnel, improve facility management practices, and ensure the long-term reliability, safety, and sustainability of the airport’s utility systems.Scope of Work
The project encompasses complete operation, maintenance, and training activities for the water, fire protection, and wastewater facilities, including:
- Continuous operation and monitoring of the Water Treatment Plant, Wastewater Treatment Plant, and Fire Fighting System at Sharm El-Sheikh Airport.
- Preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance of mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, and control systems.
- Operation and maintenance of water treatment units, including raw water intake systems, filtration units, chemical dosing systems, disinfection systems, and treated water storage facilities.
- Operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment units, including screening systems, biological treatment units, aeration systems, sedimentation tanks, sludge treatment systems, and disinfection facilities.
- Inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire fighting systems, including pumps, hydrants, fire networks, valves, and associated equipment.
- Operation and maintenance of pumps, motors, valves, generators, electrical panels, instrumentation, and auxiliary equipment.
- Operation and maintenance of SCADA, automation, monitoring, and control systems where applicable.
- Monitoring water quality, wastewater treatment performance, and fire system readiness through regular inspections and testing.
- Conducting equipment inspections, performance evaluations, and troubleshooting to minimise operational interruptions.
- Managing spare parts, assessing equipment conditions, and replacing deteriorated components when required.
- Implementing emergency response procedures and corrective actions to ensure system reliability.
- Developing and delivering technical training programmes for operation and maintenance personnel covering equipment operation, maintenance procedures, safety requirements, emergency response, and best practices.
- Preparing operational reports, maintenance records, performance evaluations, and technical documentation in accordance with Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority requirements.
- Applying occupational health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards throughout all project activities.
Technological Impact
The project enhances the efficiency, reliability, and safety of airport utility systems through the implementation of advanced operation and maintenance technologies. The integration of SCADA systems, real-time monitoring, automated control solutions, predictive maintenance strategies, and digital asset management improves operational visibility, enables early fault detection, and optimises the performance of water treatment, wastewater treatment, and fire protection systems.
The technical training programmes strengthen the capabilities of operation and maintenance teams, support knowledge transfer, and promote the adoption of modern facility management practices. These technological and operational improvements contribute to improving water quality, enhancing fire system reliability, reducing operational risks, increasing energy efficiency, extending equipment service life, and ensuring sustainable operation of the utility infrastructure at Sharm El-Sheikh Airport.
