Aqueduct and Aqueduct II treatment plant, Mexico
Chile
❚❚Aqualia has been awarded the contract worth more than 10 million euros to perform groundwater treatment services
for the Ovejería hydraulic barrier in Huechún, Metropolitan Region. The project entails the engineering, construction and
commissioning of a nanofiltration plant with a production capacity of 100 litres per second, as well as its operation and
maintenance for a 12-year period. The aim is to ensure quality water intake with a low dissolved salt content.
❚❚Meanwhile, the Colina and Batuco communities, to the north of the Santiago de Chile metropolitan area, will benefit
from the construction of the new Cadellada wastewater treatment plant to be built by 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 euros, includes the design, equipment, construction, commissioning and temporary operation to take place
over a year and a half.
Mexico
❚❚ Aqualia has secured two new contracts worth 81 million euros for the supply of water to Mexico City and the petrochemical
plant of Pemex:
The Cutzamala 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 project is considered one of the largest civil
engineering works worldwide.
The Mexican corporation Pemex has awarded Aqualia the contract to modernize the intake system in the Mezcalpa River,
which is used to supply water to the Cactus and Nuevo Pemex gas processing centres. A budget of 15 million euros has
been allocated to this project, which involves completely renovating the mechanical, electrical and automation systems.
