아메리칸워터(AW)의 자회사 캘리포니아 아메리칸워터(CAW)는 종합적인 조달과정 후 몬터레이(Monterey) 반도의 물공급 프로젝트에서 담수화 플랜트에 Boart Longyear사의 시추 방식을 적용한다. Boart Longyear사의 참여는 CAW의 3억2천만 달러 규모의 이번 물공급 프로젝트의 일환으로 사면에서 물을 퍼서 담수화 시설에 대해 해수를 공급하기 위해 선정되었다.

 

또한 Boart Longyea는 9월에 있었던 제안요청에 응답한 3개 기업 중 가장 낮은 비용을 제시하는 등 순위가 가장 높았다.

 

 

 

After a comprehensive procurement process American Water Works subsidiary California American Water will work with drilling service provider Boart Longyear on the desalination plant in the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project.

 

Boart Longyear was selected to construct seven to nine source water slant wells to draw ocean water for the desalination facility proposed as part of California American Water’s $320 million Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project.

 

Boart Longyear ranked highest and provided the lowest cost among the three respondents to a request for proposals (RFP) that was issued in September.

 

Respondents were evaluated on business, technical and price criteria. Boart Longyear submitted a proposal for approximately $2.8 million per source water slant well, which is slightly lower than California American Water’s engineering estimate.
 
California American Water and Boart Longyear constructed a test slant well earlier this year to assess the feasibility of slant well technology at California American Water’s preferred project site. Water quality results and production capability of the test slant well have so far exceeded expectations.

 

California American Water will now provide the proposals it received in response to the RFP, along with its evaluation report and draft contract to the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project Governance Committee, which will conduct its own review and make further recommendations.

 

The committee is set to discuss the matter in public during a special meeting set for Tuesday, December 1, 10:00 a.m., at the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District office located at 5 Harris Court in Monterey.
