Launch of the works at Kantale

30 June 2011 - New contracts - Sri Lanka

The works to rehabilitate and extend the water purification plant at Kantale were formally launched on 22 April 2011. Undertaken by VINCI Construction Grands Projets, the operation involves the design and construction of two additional water-tanks (1,500 and 1,670 cu. metres), the design and installation of electromechanical equipment for the plant’s two water intakes, and a total refurbishment of the pumping station.

These works will increase the plant’s processing capacity from 36,400 cu. metres to 54,600 cu. metres a day, and thus improve the supply of drinking water to the town of Trincomalee, in the northeast of the country.
Duration of the works: 18 months. Value: €10m.
