BAPCO Installation of New Waste Water Treatment Plant facilities

Project Background:

This environmental project was built to ensure the compliance with regulations for waste water discharge. A new waste water treatment plant (WWTP) was installed to treat approximately 3,500 usgm of waste water through API Separator, Skim pond and Induced Air Flotation (IAF) units, reducing the oil and solids content of the discharge to the sea. EPC Contractor of this project was GS Engineering and Construction and MCSC was the contractor for civil construction activities.
