Quality Control and Construction Supervision for Wastewater Treatment Plant in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Spain Provided by SGS

Online, June 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - On April 9, 2010 the official opening of the extension of the wastewater treatment plant took place in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Spain. The plant contributes to the agricultural and urban reuse of treated water as well as reinforcing the environmental recovery in the Baix Llobregat region.

Due to its extensive experience and competence, in September 2008, SGS Tecnos was assigned a contract to provide Quality Control and Construction Supervision for EMSSA for the extension works to the wastewater treatment plant in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Spain. SGS ensured compliance with all relevant regulations and requirements, budget control and helped to keep the project within the planned time schedule.

During the twenty months of construction, SGS's team of experts ensured compliance with all relevant regulations and requirements and controlled the budget as well as helped to keep the project within the planned time schedule. Moreover, SGS revised the construction project and quality plan, managed the assembly of equipment and controlled the timetable of work.

Due to the extensive experience of SGS, the wastewater plant was successfully extended by three additional biological reactors, the existing reactors were retrofitted on time without exceeding the budget and the existing installations such as aeration systems and the disinfection treatment unit were improved. The wastewater treatment plant project was constructed in compliance with the regulations of the Spanish water reuse legislation (RD 1620/2007) and was kept within the budget and planned time schedule due to SGS's excellent work.
