THE PROBLEM

  • Rodrigues Island faces a severe shortage in water for potable and general use. The population may have water for only a few hours in the day, and the nature of the island prevents the easy collection of natural water.

  • Businesses in the industrial and tourism sectors in this region faced significant difficulties due to the lack of suitable water, which negatively affected their output and development respectively.

  • The local administration of Rodrigues Island had experienced significant disappointment, having previously installed desalination systems by other suppliers which failed to provide potable water as contracted.

THE CHALLENGE

  • To supply a desalination plant which could withstand the very harsh weather conditions in Mauritius.

  • To supply and install the desalination plant within the strict deadline set by the tender.

  • As Rodrigues Island did not cater for 40-ft. containers, the plant had to be customized for ease of transportation and site installation

THE RESULT

Due to the excellent cooperation that has been achieved, the island’s residents can enjoy an uninterrupted supply of safe, high quality drinking water. This project is particularly important, as it is evidence of TEMAK implementing its vision of being the ideal partner in water treatment solutions worldwide.
