This project focused on critical system components of municipal water supply facilities within the service area of the Northern Governorates Water Authority (NGWA), the Eastern Primary Transmission System. This component forms the “backbone” of the NGWA eastern system, and expansions were needed in order to keep up with the expected increase in demand. The project comprised two components: the supply, delivery, construction and pre-commissioning of a new pump station at Zatary, and a new 48km pipeline extending west from the new Zatary pump station to the existing reservoir at Hofa. The project area covered the Governorates of Mafraq, Jerash and Irbid. Specific components included:
– Construction of a new pump station at Zatary in Mafraq Governorate, including 4 new Turbin pumps (3 service and 1 standby) each of a 720 m3 /hr capacity.
– Construction of a control building at Zatary pump station, including installation of control equipment.
– Installation of the new Zatary pump station yard piping comprising a steel 1200mm pump suction header and 1000 mm discharge header.
– Civil and landscaping works at the Zatary pump station site.
– Supply and installation of approximately 47,800m of ductile iron pipe pipeline and tak-offs ranging in size from 100mm to 1000mm diameter with all fittings and accessories including air release valves, gate valves, butterfly valves,wash outs.
