Access Engineering PLC Has Undertaken the Work to Rehabilitate Labugama & Kalatuwawa Water Treatment Plants
According to the company, the project which is executed by the National Water Supply and Drainage Board is funded through a tied aid loan from the Government of Hungary.
"Access Engineering PLC together with Fevarosi Vizumvek of Hungary is preceding the rehabilitation work in maximum capacity in order to complete the project within a period of 36 months. As the water treatment plants are in operation while the rehabilitation work is in progress, Access Engineering is making every effort to complete the work while ensuring minimum interruptions to the supply of water to the city of Colombo," the statement said.
Labuagama and Kalatuwawa Treatment Plants, which were constructed by the British in 1886 and 1957 in close proximity to each other, account for 15-18% of the overall potable water consumption of the city of Colombo. The designed capacity of Labugama (WTP) which was 60,000 m3/day and Kalatuwawa (WTP) which was 90,000 m3/day have been reduced by 30% due to the severe deterioration that has occurred over the years.
The long awaited rehabilitation work proceeds under the three stages of design, construction and assistance in operations and maintenance.
