23 December 2024On September 20, 2011, VINCI Construction Grands Projets signed a $17.5-million contract to rehabilitate two water-treatment plants, Mona and Hope, which provide drinking water to the eastern districts of Jamaica’s capital city, Kingston.
The upgrade will restore the Mona and Hope plants’ initial capacities of 68,000 m³/day and 29,500 m³/day, respectively.
The treatment process for raw water intake at the head of the plants includes coagulation, flocculation, decantation, and filtration (rapid sand filters for Mona and slow sand filters for Hope).
Funding for the project is provided by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
Work is set to begin in November 2011 and will be completed in 18 months.
