PLANT FOUNDATION AND BUILDINGS FOR DESALTER
Work To Start Next Month
Work on the plant foundation and site buildings for the desalting
plant in Castle Peak is expected to begin in April.
The work includes the construction of six evaporator bases, an
auxiliary plant building, boiler foundations, an intake screen building,
and a chemical building.
Completion of the various buildings will be phased to fit in
with the installation of the evaporators and associated electrical and
mechanical plants.
The desalting plant is expected to become fully operational in
January 1976, when it will have a daily output of 40 million gallons of
fresh water.
It will consist of six units, each complete with steam boilers
and evaporators.
The first of these units is expected to be commissioned in
December next year. The remaining units will come into operation thereafter
at three-month intervals.
