With a new order for water supply in the north-east of the country!
For a project to secure drinking water supply to the city of Oujda, located on the edge of the eastern Rif, ONEE has entrusted our Moroccan subsidiary CTHM with renovation works to leaking water supply pipes leading from the Mechraa Hammadi dam.
In 8 months of work, CTHM will execute 3 out of 4 orders, laying more than 45km of networks:
- Order 1: between the dam and the treatment plant, laying of 13.5km of 1,000mm-diameter PRV and 1km of 1,000mm-diameter steel;
- Order 2: between the treatment plant and the intermediary storage basin, laying of 9.5 km of 1,000mm-diameter PRV and 1.5 km of 1,000mm-diameter steel;
- Order 4: between the 23.8km mark and the Oujda reservoirs, laying of 19.5 km of 900mm-diameter PRV and 0.7 km of 900mm-diameter steel.
This latest project further strengthens CTHM’s foothold in Morocco and forms an integral part of our CSR policy by highlighting the role of our Group in access to drinking water.
ONEE, the result of the 2012 merger between the Moroccan National Electricity Board (ONE), created in 1963, and the National Water Board (ONEP) created in 1972, invests in major structural projects for Morocco, providing electricity and water production, transport and supply facilities, in addition to wastewater treatment networks which are all essential to the country’s sustainable development. Its Water division ensures the planning, production and supply of Morocco’s water resources.
