To be able to plan the long term needs for water and sanitation infrastructures, our teams study in detail the urban and demographic evolution in the project area, assess the water demand of the population, and estimate the water consummed and wastewater produced (volume and quality). Finally, they come up with a technico-economical analysis and comparison of the various possible options (extension of networks, new treatment plants, etc.), on which they will base their short and medium term recommendations.

1. Ireland - Dublin Region Major Water Resource Study

The Dublin Region is facing a rapid increase in economic activity associated with population growth, resulting in a forecast requirement to increase water production by 200 Mld before 2011 and 300 Mld by 2031.

The purpose of the study is to identify a major source that can meet this additional requirement through a feasibility phase, followed by the preliminary design of the chosen option.

2. Italy - Master Plan of Acqualatina

ACQUALATINA (a Veolia Water concession) is in charge of the water and waste water management of the ATO n°4 of the Lazio region. This cover an area of approximately 150 km x 30 km, with about 35 towns, the largest one being Latina. Total population is 600,000.

The project consisted in the elaboration of a water and sewerage master plan in order to plan. The needed investments on a 25 years period. It included diagnosis of the sewerage plants, ground water resource investigations, measuring campaign on water and waste water networks, modelling, water demand study, definition of the investment and costing.

3. Morocco - Tangier and Tetouan water supply and sewerage master plans

Preparation of the water supply and sewerage master plans for the cities of Tangier and Tetouan, including the forecast of water consumption, wastewater and rainwater flows over the next 25 years, the definition of potential alternative systems for water supply and transfer-treatment-discharge of wastewater, the definition of the preferred solution, the definition of necessary investments for supply systems and for rainwater discharge to prevent floods, and the investment plan over 25 years.

4. Iraq - Master plan and design for sewage network and treatment plants for the cities of Dahuk, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah

Seureca established master plans and detailed designs of the sewerage networks and treatment plants to be implemented in Dohouk (250,000 inhab.), Erbil (650,000 inhab.) and Sulaymaniyah (600,000 inhab.).

The assignment encompassed satellite image photogrammetry, detailed technical field surveys, mathematical modelling, elaboration of technical specifications, compilation of bills of Quantity, cost estimates and contract documents for the works.

5. Pakistan - Identification study for the provision of water supply and sewerage services in Lahore city

Seureca was awarded a feasibility study to improve the level of service in the city.

The project included an audit of the sewerage system and formulation of an operational and asset improvement program, as well as an audit of the operation and maintenance processes and equipment and definition of short and medium term recommendations, especially in terms of human resources and organisation.

Moreover, Seureca studied the Unaccounted-for-water in the system and defined a losses reduction program including the assessment of the required investments, including the implementation of a pilot area to demonstrate the guidelines to measure and reduce losses.

6. Mongolia - Water and waste water Master Plan of Ulaanbaatar

The purpose of the Water and Waste Water Master Plan of Ulaanbaatar is to define the development and management policy of the water supply and sewerage facilities of the city in order to meet the expected requirements until 2020, including those likely to arise from the progressive urbanisation of the ger (or yurts) areas.
