Construction of new Mexican desal plant to begin next month
Construction on a new desalination plant in the San Quintín valley of Mexico's Baja California state is scheduled to begin next week, local daily El Economista reported.
While the works to be launched involve construction of the treatment facilities, the installation of the line that will supply treated water to San Quintín residents will be on hold until the relevant rights-of-way are secured, Carlos Loyola, director of Ensenada municipality's public service commission (CESPE) told the paper.
Construction is set to last approximately 18 months, so that it should be in operation by the end of next year.
The project, called Sistema Integral Hídrico San Quintín, consists of the design, construction and operation of a 250l/s plant.
The estimated investment required for the plant is 875mn pesos (US$46.3mn). Some 665mn pesos of that amount, or around 75% of the total cost, will come from a loan from the North American Development Bank (NADB).
The facility will be developed under a public-private partnership model, with a 30-year concession that has already been awarded to Desaladora Kenton, which is comprised of Libra Ingenieros Civiles, RWL Water and R.J. Ingeniería.
Once the plant is in operation, CESPE will be responsible for supplying water to over 86,000 residents of the valley.
