PUB appoints Black & Veatch to develop Marina East desalination plant

It will be Singapore’s fourth desalination plant.

The Singapore Public Utilities Board (PUB) has chosen Black & Veatch to provide consultancy services for Singapore’s fourth desalination plant.

According to a media release by Black & Veatch, the Marina East desalination plant is planned with a capacity of 36 MGD, and will help meet future water demand in the city area. It is also expected to strengthen Singapore’s drought resilience.

Further, it will be designed to treat two different water sources: seawater from the Singapore Straits, or raw water from the Marina Reservoir.

Initially, Black & Veatch’s role will include the preliminary design for the development of the plant under a design-build-own-operate (DBOO) arrangement. It will continue to provide services to PUB throughout the plant’s development, though.

The request for proposal for the plant’s development in Marina East under the DBOO arrangement will be made in 2016’s second quarter.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
