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.
