Prepared for the growing demand for drinking water
The six cities of Haql, Duba, Al Wajh, Al Lith, Farasan and Umluj on the west coast of Saudi Arabia will receive independent water transport systems as part of the NEW SATELLITE PLANTS project. They will be designed to meet the six cities' growing demand for drinking water until 2050.
The water transfer systems consist of the following main components
- 5 new pumping stations at the desalination plants
- 5 new pressure lines from the pumping stations to the final storage stations, with lengths ranging from approximately 3 km to 5 km, diameters of 20 inches and 28 inches, design flows in different phases from approximately 18,000 m3/day to approximately 60,000 m3/day.
- 5 new storage stations
- 1 new treated water tank at the AL LITH desalination plant with a capacity of 50,000 m3
- 9 new water tanks at the terminal storage stations with a capacity of 17,000 m3 to 30,000 m3
- Pump houses, surge tanks, electrical buildings, shafts, maintenance and service buildings and other structures.
Preparation of the execution phase (final design)
- In close cooperation with the main contractor, HOLINGER carried out the following tasks:
- Project design and planning (hydraulics, mechanics, electrics and civil engineering)
- Reports on standard procedures and design criteria
- Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID)
- Hydraulic analysis of plants and stations
- Pipe wall thickness determination reports
- Layout plans for pump stations and holding tanks
- Pipeline alignment sheets and calculations for venting and draining
- Layout and as-built drawings for pump houses, surge tanks, electrical buildings, shafts, buildings and other structures
- Stress analyses for station pipelines and mechanical isometrics
- Civil and structural design of buildings and structures, including dynamic design for pump foundations
- Steelwork design for pipeline fittings and supports
- Testing of mechanical, electrical, control and hydraulic systems
- Operational concepts
