Colombo sewerage rehabilitation project
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Martin R. AndersenThis paper describes an ongoing project in Colombo. The aim of the project is rehabilitation of the most critical part of
the existing sewerage system in the city and construction of a new pumping station, which will replace the largest existing
pumping station. Upgrading of a smaller existing pumping station by replacing all electrical and mechanical equipment
is also part of the project. The benefits of the project will ensure the foundation for further development of the city, without
overloading the sewerage system. In addition, ground water reserves will no longer be drained due to the condition for
the sewerage system, which also will reduce operational costs of the connected pumping stations.
