Design of Rehabilitation and Renewal Works for Blantyre and Lilongwe Water Boards
Mudi water treatment works - Blantyre
Treatment Works I - Lilongwe
Country: Malawi
The water supply systems of the two biggest cities in Malawi had been suffering numerous problems to meet the actual and short-term water demand. The project aimed at the identification of hydraulic bottlenecks in the primary supply systems, a detailed facility inventory and the formulation of rehabilitation and renewal measures.
Some studies had been previously carried out for both Water Boards and the results from these and the associated documentation was verified and updated.
The main focus was on the upgrading of the treatment plants and renewal of the electro-mechanical equipment to prevent total system breakdown on the main supply lines in the near future.
The works in Blantyre needed to be more substantial as the entire system was outdated and the city experienced regular interuptions in the water supply services.
