Activated sludge wastewater treatment plant
Ferdjioua, Algeria
The EPC contractor was a consortium between an Austrian water treatment contractor and a Chinese civil contractor. The consortium was awarded a design-built-operate contract for a biological wastewater treatment plant with activated sludge process for a population of 80,000 - 120,000 inhabitants. The services have been provided to the EPC contractor, through the water treatment contractor, consortium leader.
Challenge
The project was delayed due to circumstances beyond the control of the EPC contractor and significant changes in the scope of the civil works requested by the authorities. Adjustments to the contract were not made and negotiated as changes occurred, so that the customer would automatically apply late delivery penalties. The Contractor and the customer initiated a dispute resolution process to resolve the costs and time.
