Project Overview
This project, undertaken for the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency, involves comprehensive operation and maintenance services for the Sewage Treatment Plant in New Cairo City. The project aims to ensure the continuous, efficient, and reliable operation of the wastewater treatment facility while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations, treated wastewater quality standards, and sustainability requirements.
The project focuses on enhancing the operational performance and reliability of the treatment plant through professional operation, preventive maintenance, corrective actions, and effective technical management practices. It contributes to protecting the environment, improving wastewater management, and ensuring the sustainable operation of wastewater treatment infrastructure in New Cairo City.
Scope of Work
The project encompasses comprehensive operation and maintenance activities for the Sewage Treatment Plant, including:
- Continuous operation and monitoring of all wastewater treatment processes and plant facilities.
- Operation and maintenance of treatment units, including screening systems, grit removal units, biological treatment units, aeration tanks, sedimentation tanks, sludge treatment systems, and disinfection facilities.
- Preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance of pumps, motors, blowers, valves, generators, electrical panels, mechanical equipment, and electromechanical systems.
- Monitoring influent and treated wastewater quality through laboratory analysis to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
- Operation and maintenance of SCADA, instrumentation, automation, and control systems where applicable.
- Optimisation of treatment processes to improve efficiency, enhance treated wastewater quality, and reduce operational costs.
- Inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of tanks, pipelines, channels, and associated infrastructure.
- Monitoring operational parameters, equipment performance, and treatment efficiency indicators.
- Emergency response, troubleshooting, and corrective maintenance to minimise operational interruptions.
- Spare parts management, equipment condition assessment, and replacement of deteriorated components.
- Preparation of operation and maintenance plans, technical reports, performance evaluations, and documentation in accordance with Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency requirements.
- Ensuring compliance with occupational health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards throughout all project activities.
