Project Overview
This project, undertaken for the National Authority for Potable Water and Sewage (NAPWASD), involves the comprehensive operation, maintenance, and training services for the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Berket Ghattas City, Beheira Governorate. The project aims to ensure the efficient and sustainable treatment of wastewater while maintaining compliance with environmental standards and operational requirements. In addition to plant operation and maintenance activities, the project includes specialised training programmes to enhance the technical capabilities of operation and maintenance personnel, ensuring effective management of the treatment facilities and supporting long-term infrastructure sustainability.Scope of Work
The project encompasses the complete operation, maintenance, and training activities associated with the wastewater treatment plant, including:
- Continuous operation and monitoring of all wastewater treatment processes.
- Preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance of pumps, motors, blowers, valves, generators, electrical panels, and treatment equipment.
- Operation and maintenance of treatment units, including inlet works, screening systems, grit removal units, biological treatment units, sedimentation tanks, sludge handling facilities, and disinfection systems.
- Operation and maintenance of SCADA, instrumentation, automation, and control systems where applicable.
- Monitoring treatment efficiency, wastewater quality parameters, and laboratory analysis to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
- Inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of pipelines, tanks, pumping systems, and associated infrastructure.
- Emergency response and breakdown maintenance to minimise operational interruptions.
- Sludge management and monitoring of treatment by-products in accordance with environmental requirements.
- Spare parts management, equipment condition assessment, and replacement of deteriorated components.
- Development and implementation of technical training programmes for operation and maintenance staff, covering plant operation, equipment maintenance, safety procedures, emergency response, and best practices.
- Preparation of operational reports, performance analyses, and technical documentation in accordance with NAPWASD requirements.
- Implementation of occupational health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards throughout all project activities.
Technological Impact
The project enhances wastewater treatment efficiency and operational reliability through the integration of advanced operation and maintenance technologies combined with technical capacity development. The application of SCADA systems, real-time monitoring, automated process control, predictive maintenance strategies, and digital asset management improves process supervision, enables early fault detection, and optimises plant performance.
The training programmes strengthen the capabilities of operation and maintenance teams, improve knowledge transfer, and promote the adoption of modern maintenance practices. These technological and operational improvements contribute to reducing downtime, improving energy efficiency, extending equipment life cycles, ensuring consistent treatment quality, and supporting sustainable wastewater management in Berket Ghattas City, Beheira Governorate.
