Potable water plant project, Botswana
Name and Location
Potable water plant project, Maun, Botswana.
Client
AEVVMI joint venture.
Project Description
The project entails the design, supply and commissioning of a 6 000 m3/d potable water plant in Maun, in northern Botswana.
The new plant will augment the supply from existing underground water sources, which become impractical to maintain during the nearby Okavango Delta’s flood season. To maintain consumer demand during these periods, the plant will source water directly from the river.
Value
Not stated.
Duration
The plant is scheduled to be commissioned in September 2013,
Latest Developments
Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies South Africa subsidiary, VWS Envig Botswana, has been awarded a contract by the AEVVMI joint venture to design, supply and commission the potable water plant.
Veolia will install its patented Actiflo high-rate water-clarification system. Featuring footprints that are five times smaller than those of conventional clarifiers, the Actiflo will achieve rapid settling with Actisand – a ballast designed to rapidly flocculate and settle organic particles.
The group will also be responsible for a booster pump and delivery pipelines. This will involve replacing of the main distribution pump and connecting the new station with minimal disturbance to the current water supply.
