Build
GES has vast experience in the construction of desalination facilities, both of brackish and sea water, from large-scale plants such as the Palmachim Desalination Plant (45 MCM per year potable water) and medium size facilities such as the Atlit Desalination Facility (1.2 MCM per year potable water ) to small units.
Construction of a desalination plant includes various activities:
- Large-scale plants require a wide range of skills which demand specific managerial abilities and financial know-how in order to build the plant over a reasonable time scale (within 2 years).
The first stage of the construction of the Palmachim Desalination Plant lasted 24 months. During that period GES participated in the following activities:
- Marine works, such as laying the intake and the outlet pipes, dredging sea bottom, liaising with the marine authorities, etc.
- Civil works included laying concrete, constructing the buildings, tanks and reservoirs, installing underground piping, etc.
- Electro-mechanical works, such as installing equipment, Reverse Osmosis (RO) islands, high pressure pumps, energy recovery devices, etc.
- Electrical works, such as transformers rooms, motor room, etc.
- Medium and small plants are available with a wide range of options; containerized facilities that arrive to site ready to plug or facilities that are erected on site
- Containerized facilities are available for medium to small size desalination: assembly and manufacturing of special parts are conducted in GES' workshop. The additional on-site works, from placement of the container to final civil, electrical or electro-mechanical works, if needed is done with the aid of the GES manufacturing and constructing department.
- Medium to Small scale facilities that are erected on site
