Project

The Project comprised the construction design of the desalination plant´s marine pipelines, together with the intake structures and the diffuser section.

The solution will be designed on the onshore and offshore area with a tunnel construction method: horizontal directional drilling (HDD).

Main characteristics:

• Material: HDPE100
• Pipeline definitions: 2xOD=900 mm SDR 17 intake pipelines and 1x OD=800 mm SDR 17 outfall.
• Total length: 2×290 m intake (-13 m depth) and 333 m outfall (-14 m)
• Maximum flow rate: 2.05 m3/s intake and 1.1 m3/s outfall
• 2 passive screen intake structures.
• Diffuser design with 6 outlets DN 280 mm spaced 5.6 m.

Other project works:

• Recirculation and near-field study (Mohid and brIHne model)
• Marine climate study (Swan model)
• Marine beaconing
• Pump chamber hydraulic design: CFD study.
