스페인 물 관리 기업인 FCC Aqualia가 멕시코에서 2개, 칠레에서 2개로 총 4개의 계약을 확보함으로써 라틴아메리카에서의 미래를 위한 첫 단계를 밟았다.

FCC Aqualia의 자회사인 Aqualia Infraestructuras에게 수주된 이 계약은 1억800만 유로의 가치를 가진다. 이 계약들은 광산 및 석유화학 산업을 위한 물 공급과 정화 운영을 포함하게 될 예정이다.

멕시코의 Cutzamala 프로젝트는 멕시코시티의 변두리 지역에 대한 식수공급을 보장하기 위한 또 다른 방안으로 물 공급 그리드를 확장하는 도전과제에 직면하고 있다. 이 시스템은 현재 20㎥/sec로 운송되는 용량을 가지며, 이는 라틴아메리카에서 가장 큰 규모이다.

다가올 2년 반 동안 FCC Aqualia는 지름 2.3m의 강철 파이프라인 시공을 다룰 계획이다. 이 파이프라인은 18㎞의 거리에 깔릴 예정이며, 계약은 약 6천600만 유로 가치를 가진다.

 

 

 

Spanish water management company FCC Aqualia has taken a step forward in Latin America after securing four new contracts: two in Mexico and another two in Chile.

 

Awarded to FCC Aqualia’s subsidiary, Aqualia Infraestructuras and valued at €108 million, they will involve water supply and purification operations for the mining and petrochemical industries.

 

The Cutzamala (Mexico) project faces the challenge of expanding their supply grid with another line in order to guarantee the supply of drinking water to areas on the outskirts of Mexico City.  The system currently has a capacity to deliver 20 m3/sec , making it the largest in Latin America.
 
Over the next two and a half years, FCC Aqualia, working in alliance with the Hermes Infraestructura group, will handle the construction of a steel pipeline measuring 2.3 metres in diameter, which will cover a distance of 18 kilometres. The contract is worth some €66 million.

 

In turn, the Mexican corporation, Pemex, through its subsidiary, Pemex Gas, and Petroquimica Basicas, has awarded FCC Aqualia the project for renovation work on the intake system in the Mezcalpa River, in the state of Tabasco, which is used to supply water to the Cactus and Nuevo Pemex gas processing centres.

 

A budget of €15 million has been allocated to this project, which involves completely renovating the mechanical, electrical and automation systems, as well as the control measures for the collection and intake of water, with an installed capacity of 3.6 m3/sec., in addition to enhancing the civil engineering work.

 

FCC's water management company has also been chosen by the Chilean company, Codelco, to perform groundwater treatment services using a nanofiltration plant for the Ovejeria hydraulic barrier in Huechun, Metropolitan Region (Chile).

 

The contract is worth EUR 12 million and the work will consist in the engineering, construction and commissioning of a nanofiltration plant with a production capacity of 100 litres per second, as well as operation and maintenance for a 12-year period. The aim is to ensure guaranteed quality water intake with a low dissolved salt content.

 

The Colina and Batuco communities, to the north of the Santiago de Chile metropolitan area, will benefit from the construction of the new Cadellada treatment plant, to be built by FCC Aqualia. The new plant, with a treatment capacity of 330 litres per second, will handle the needs of nearly 150,000 residents.

 

This turnkey project, valued at €15 million, includes the design, equipment, construction, commissioning and temporary operation to take place over a year and a half. Subsequently, the company will offer operational assistance for one additional year.

 

In December FCC Aqualia secured it’s first contract in Qatar with the Qatar Public Works Authority.
