Project strengthens Singapore's water resilience and used water
management system
DALLAS, June 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was appointed by
PUB, Singapore's National Water
Agency, through a competitive bid process, to provide professional
engineering services for the development of the new Kranji Water
Reclamation Plant (WRP). With upcoming major residential and
industrial developments in northern Singapore, the new Kranji WRP will cater to
the projected increase in used water collection and
treatment.
Jacobs will provide engineering design, construction supervision
and commissioning for the plant, which is expected to be
operational by 2035. The new Kranji WRP will provide an initial
treatment capacity of 120 million imperial gallons of used water
per day (mgd) and will include a fully integrated 50 mgd NEWater
Factory. The plant is the final component of the three-node Deep
Tunnel Sewerage System to meet Singapore's long-term used water needs
alongside Changi WRP in the east and Tuas WRP in the west.
"Sharing the Wastewater Project of the Year Award with PUB at
the recent Global Water Awards for the expansion of Changi Water
Reclamation Plant showcases our deep experience in sustainable
water projects," said Jacobs Senior Vice President Keith Lawson. "The new Kranji WRP appointment
extends our strong collaboration with PUB and allows us to bring
the latest advancements in water treatment technologies, smart
operations and energy and resource recovery, all while minimizing
carbon footprint, biodiversity and environmental impact."
Given the diverse ecosystem in the vicinity of the project site,
Jacobs will assist with the compliance efforts to develop the plant
in an environmentally sustainable manner. The new plant will also
deploy smart automation and controls to achieve operational
efficiencies and leverage advanced treatment technologies,
potentially co-locating with Singapore's National Environment Agency's
waste management facility to harness synergies for long-term
operation.
Jacobs and PUB will organize a project award ceremony at
Singapore International Water Week 2024. Jacobs is a founding
sponsor of the event that brings together global thought leaders to
talk about innovative water, coastal and flood solutions.
