Project Overview
This project, undertaken for the New Urban Communities Authority, involves comprehensive operation, maintenance, and training services for the Sewage Water Treatment Plant and the 1,200 mm Force Main in New Beni Suef City. The project aims to ensure the continuous, efficient, and reliable operation of the wastewater treatment facilities and the main wastewater conveyance system, while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations, operational standards, and sustainability objectives.
The project focuses on optimising treatment processes, maintaining the reliability of critical equipment, and ensuring the efficient transfer of wastewater through the force main to support the city's growing infrastructure needs. In addition to operation and maintenance activities, the project includes specialised training programmes to enhance the technical capabilities of operation and maintenance personnel and improve long-term facility management practices.
Scope of Work
The project encompasses complete operation, maintenance, and training activities for the wastewater treatment plant and the 1,200 mm force main, including:
- Continuous operation and monitoring of all wastewater treatment processes and associated 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.
- Operation and maintenance of pumps, blowers, motors, valves, generators, electrical panels, and mechanical and electromechanical equipment.
- Operation, inspection, and maintenance of the 1,200 mm force main, including pipelines, valves, chambers, and associated hydraulic structures.
- Preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance of plant equipment and wastewater conveyance 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, reduce energy consumption, and enhance treated wastewater quality.
- Inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of tanks, pipelines, channels, and related infrastructure.
- Emergency response, troubleshooting, and corrective actions to minimise operational 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, force main operation, equipment maintenance, safety procedures, and best practices.
- Preparation of operational reports, performance evaluations, maintenance records, and technical documentation in accordance with New Urban Communities Authority requirements.
- Application of occupational health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards throughout all project activities.
Technological Impact
The project enhances the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of wastewater treatment and conveyance systems in New Beni Suef City 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 control, enables early fault detection, and optimises the performance of the treatment plant and force main system.
The technical training programmes strengthen the capabilities of operation and maintenance teams, support knowledge transfer, and promote the adoption of modern wastewater management practices. These technological and operational improvements contribute to improving treatment efficiency, reducing operational costs, enhancing energy efficiency, extending equipment service life, increasing system reliability, and ensuring the sustainable operation of wastewater infrastructure in New Beni Suef City.
