Morrison Hershfield wins Ethiopia wastewater job
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia
Morrison Hershfield has been successful in its international bid for the Kality Wastewater Collection and Treatment Expansion Project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The Morrison Hershfield team was selected from six international consultants shortlisted for this World Bank funded project. The Addis Ababa Water and Sewerage Authority (AAWSA) retained Morrison Hershfield to provide a new innovative treatment technology for a city with a growing need for these resources.
The company is to provide engineering services to replace the city’s aging lagoons with a mechanical plant sufficiently sized to meet the demands of a rapidly growing city.
Among its responsibilities will be the preliminary and detailed design as well as construction administration and commissioning services for the new mechanical treatment plant, engineering services for new secondary lines and laterals to expand the area within the Kality catchment serviced with piped sewers, the engineering services for the rehabilitation of the existing sewers where needed and the replacement of the siphons in the system.
Morrison Hershfield has partnered with the Ethiopian engineering firm ARMA. ARMA will provide local engineering and technical support. Morrison Hershfield staff will be in the city throughout the design and construction phases.
