The project is the fifth and largest IWPP developed in Abu Dhabi under the Government’s programme for the privatization of the water and power sector.
The challenge
ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ won a five-year outsourcing deal with TAPCO to assume responsibility for all water testing performed on and off site and also for the provision of support and advisory services to ensure the quality of the drinking water produced on the plant.
The solution
Element experts are providing on-site testing at the Taweelah B Power and Desalination Plant, while its lab-based teams are providing off-site testing at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½'s Dubai facility for the more specialist analysis required to verify that water quality complies with the requirements of the Abu Dhabi Regulation and Supervision Bureau (RSB).
