This PPP includes the design and construction of a new Northern Water Treatment Plant including re-construction of some facilities at the existing plant. The overall objective is to increase the total output of potable water from 600,000 to 800,000 CUM/day and to meet the latest Russian and European water quality standards. The project will incorporate the latest technology to modernize the original facility constructed 40 years ago.
Mott MacDonald’s role includes advising on developing technical requirements for the design, construction and operation of the new facilities as well as confirming technical solutions for the project and water consumption forecasts plus providing an analysis of capital and operational costs. Mott MacDonald’s project team will also develop a strategic social and environmental impact assessment.
