Earthworks:

Conduct site survey and assessment.

Clear the site and level the ground.

Perform excavation, backfilling, and foundation preparation.

Civil and Structural Works:

Construct concrete foundations and structural frameworks.

Build sedimentation tanks, filtration basins, and storage reservoirs.

Construct administrative buildings and supporting facilities.

Electromechanical Works:

Install pumps, pipelines, and valves.

Set up mechanical equipment (mixers, dosing systems).

Install electrical and control systems (SCADA).

Water Treatment Processes:

Intake raw water through intake structures.

Perform filtration, sedimentation, and disinfection (chlorination/UV).

Conduct final water quality adjustments and treatment.

Evaporation Ponds and Sludge Management:

Build evaporation ponds for brine disposal.

Install sludge dewatering and drying systems.

Testing and Commissioning:

Test pipelines, pumps, and treatment processes.

Train staff for operation and maintenance.

Deliver the plant fully operational.

Finalization:

Restore the site with landscaping.

Install security systems (fencing, surveillance).

Outcome

A state-of-the-art treatment plant ensuring the delivery of high-quality, safe drinking water to meet community needs
