Project Overview
This project, undertaken for the New Urban Communities Authority, involves comprehensive operation, maintenance, and training services for six sewage pumping stations and the temporary wastewater treatment plant in New Damietta City. The project aims to ensure the continuous, efficient, and reliable operation of wastewater collection, pumping, and treatment systems while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations, operational standards, and sustainability objectives.
The project focuses on maintaining the performance and reliability of wastewater infrastructure through professional operation, preventive maintenance, corrective actions, and technical management practices. In addition to operation and maintenance activities, the project includes specialised training programmes to enhance the capabilities of operation and maintenance personnel and ensure the sustainable operation of wastewater facilities in New Damietta City.
Scope of Work
The project encompasses complete operation, maintenance, and training activities for six sewage pumping stations and the temporary wastewater treatment plant, including:
- Continuous operation and monitoring of six sewage pumping stations and the temporary wastewater treatment plant facilities.
- Preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance of pumps, motors, valves, generators, electrical panels, mechanical equipment, and electromechanical systems.
- Operation and maintenance of sewage pumping stations, including wet wells, dry wells, pumping units, collection chambers, and auxiliary systems.
- Operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment units, including screening systems, grit removal units, biological treatment units, aeration systems, sedimentation tanks, sludge treatment systems, and disinfection facilities.
- Monitoring wastewater flow rates, water levels, pressure readings, and equipment performance indicators to ensure efficient wastewater conveyance and treatment.
- Laboratory monitoring and analysis of influent and treated wastewater quality to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
- Operation and maintenance of SCADA, instrumentation, automation, and control systems where applicable.
- Inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of pipelines, tanks, channels, valves, and associated hydraulic structures.
- Emergency response, troubleshooting, and corrective maintenance 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 pumping station operation, wastewater treatment processes, equipment maintenance, safety procedures, and best practices.
- Preparation of operational reports, maintenance records, performance evaluations, and technical documentation in accordance with New Urban Communities Authority 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 wastewater infrastructure in New Damietta City through the integration of advanced operation and maintenance technologies. The implementation of SCADA systems, real-time monitoring, automated control solutions, predictive maintenance strategies, and digital asset management improves operational control, enables early fault detection, and optimises the performance of sewage pumping stations and the temporary wastewater treatment plant.
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 reducing downtime, improving energy efficiency, extending equipment service life, enhancing treatment performance, increasing system reliability, and ensuring the sustainable operation of wastewater facilities in New Damietta City.
