| Work Detail |
A notice of prequalification was recently issued by the Northern Region Water Board (NRWB) for the expansion of Rumphi, a town in northern Malawi’s drinking water supply system.
The fresh project will boost Rumphi’s access to water that is safe to drink. The project will rehab, upgrade, as well as expand the town’s water supply systems in northern Malawi.
The rehabilitation will be carried out by a private company. This is according to the Northern Region Water Board (NRWB), who are overseeing the project.
The notice of prequalification for the initiative was recently issued by the state-owned water treatment company.
Proposals for the notice of prequalification should be submitted by May 16, 2023, for companies interested.
The companies that have been shortlisted will then be qualified to submit bids for the tender that will be launched in July 2024.
How long it will take to complete the expansion of Rumphi water supply system project
To complete all of the work outlined for the water project, the selected company will be given 18 months. This will be followed by a 12-month guarantee period.
The installation of pumping units with capacities ranging from 97 m3 every hour to 320 m3 per hour, the development of four pumping stations, a 25 meter long reinforced concrete weir, and reinforced concrete tanks with a combined capacity of 7,500 m3 are all included in the scope of work.
A distribution network with a length of 240 km and a diameter range of 100 mm to 300 mm is also included in the project, along with a water intake pipeline with a diameter of 500 mm as well as a length of 1,600 m.
This network will supply drinking water that has been purified at a new plant. The daily capacity of this plant will be 19,415 m3.
Through this project, at least 20 villages close to Rumphi will have continuous access to drinking water. Through 200 new water points, the resource will be distributed. |
