STAFF FOR DESALINATION PLANT

Preparation work on the desalting plant at Castle Peak is well under

way, and the Government is now recruiting a number of engineers to undertake

resident engineer duties on site and to train junior staff.

The new recruits consist of a Superintending Engineer, Shift Charge

Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, an Electrical Engineer and Unit Control

Engineers. They will be responsible for the supervision of the construction

work and the operation and maintenance of the plant when it is completed.

A Waterworks Chemist will also be appointed to assist the Desalting

Chemist in fuel, boiler water, brine, product and seawater analyses, corrosion

and pollution monitoring and treatment process supervision.

When the plant becomes fully operational, it will require about 200

engineers and technicians to carry out processing and maintenance work.

International tenders have been called for the construction of the

desalting plant which will be situated near the 17 milestone, Castle Peak Road.

It will be the largest of its kind in the world, consisting of six units

and processing a total of 40 million gallone of sea water a day.
