Our response

Laceco responded to the above objectives by:

• Survey collection of field data and topographic necessary to complete the design of water supply networks
• Coordination with the concerned public Authority about the new water networks’ interface with existing ones (connection points/spare capacities etc…)
• Designing and supervision around 10 km of transmission pipelines and 20 km of distribution pipelines
• Design and supersizing the drilling and equipment of 2 boreholes, two water tanks and related pumping stations with all corresponding MEP equipment
• Networks commissioning services

Interesting facts

• Provide clean drinking water facilities to the people of the village despite the limited water sources
• One of the main challenges was the steep topography and important potential head differences between the storage reservoirs and the distribution networks
• Comprehensive database was fully integrated with special data on topography and geology in Arc View based GIS system
