Project Overview
This project, undertaken for the National Authority for Potable Water and Sewage (NAPWASD), involves the comprehensive operation, maintenance, and training services for a Water Treatment Plant in Qena Governorate. The project aims to ensure the continuous production of safe and high-quality potable water while maintaining compliance with national drinking water standards and operational requirements. In addition to operation and maintenance activities, the project includes specialised training programmes to enhance the technical capabilities of operation and maintenance teams, improve plant management practices, and support the long-term reliability and sustainability of water supply infrastructure in Qena Governorate.Scope of Work
The project encompasses the complete operation, maintenance, and training activities associated with the water treatment plant, including:
- Continuous operation and monitoring of all water treatment processes.
- Preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance of pumps, motors, valves, generators, electrical panels, and treatment equipment.
- Operation and maintenance of treatment units, including intake facilities, coagulation and flocculation units, sedimentation tanks, filtration systems, disinfection systems, chemical dosing systems, and water storage facilities.
- Operation and maintenance of SCADA, instrumentation, automation, and control systems where applicable.
- Monitoring water quality parameters and conducting laboratory analyses to ensure compliance with potable water standards.
- Inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of pipelines, reservoirs, pumping systems, and associated infrastructure.
- Optimisation of treatment processes to improve operational efficiency and water quality.
- Emergency response and troubleshooting to minimise service interruptions.
- Spare parts management, equipment condition assessment, and replacement of deteriorated components.
- Development and implementation of technical training programmes for operation and maintenance personnel covering plant operation, equipment maintenance, safety procedures, 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 the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of potable water production through the integration of advanced operation and maintenance technologies. The implementation of SCADA systems, real-time monitoring, automated process control, predictive maintenance strategies, and digital asset management improves operational visibility, enables early fault detection, and optimises treatment plant performance.
The technical training programmes strengthen the capabilities of operation and maintenance teams, facilitate knowledge transfer, and promote the adoption of modern water treatment practices. These technological and operational improvements contribute to improving water quality, reducing operational downtime, enhancing energy efficiency, extending equipment life cycles, and ensuring a reliable and sustainable potable water supply system throughout Qena Governorate.
