Function

Meeting Erbil's long term drinking water needs

Key Feature

One of Iraq's most modern water infrastructure projects

Architectural and Engineering Details

Hospital buildings were constructed using reinforced concrete and steel systems.

855 seismic isolators allow independent structural movement during earthquakes, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Interiors were designed to prioritize healthcare efficiency and patient comfort.

Technologies and Construction Innovations Used

Modern sedimentation and filtration systems were used in treatment.

Special infrastructure solutions expanded chlorination capacity.

Pumping stations were equipped with high efficiency, low energy systems.

Special Solutions

The project was sized for Erbil's rapidly growing population.

Special welding and coating techniques supported long distance ductile iron pipe installation.

Special insulation for reinforced concrete tanks addressed the desert climate and heat.

Project Stages and Solutions

Construction Stages

Construction of a 240,000 m³/day treatment plant

Construction of a 50,000 m³ storage tank

Construction of pumping stations and sedimentation tanks

Laying a 60 km ductile iron pipeline

Expansion of chlorination units and automation integration

Solutions

Ground surveys along the route were followed by geotechnically compatible construction.

Durable, high strength materials were preferred for reinforced concrete works.

Phased construction avoided disruption to Erbil's existing water network.

Sustainability

Local procurement and labor were prioritized to support regional development.

Excavation and waste materials were managed in a controlled manner during construction.

Durable materials in reinforced concrete and steel structures created sustainable, low maintenance infrastructure.

Automation and low consumption systems were planned during construction for treatment energy efficiency.

Developed to secure long term drinking water for Erbil, one of Iraq's fastest growing cities, the Northern Iraq Drinking Water Project is one of the region's largest water infrastructure investments.

The 240,000 m³/day treatment plant operates with pumping stations, sedimentation tanks, a chlorination unit and a 50,000 m³ storage tank. The project also includes a 60 km ductile iron pipeline.
