Summary sheet
The project is a tertiary level wastewater treatment plant of 1.1 million p.e. capacity to treat domestic and some industrial wastewater plus storm runoff from the central and northern districts of Brussels and surrounding municipalities. The project includes also facilities for the treatment of waste water sludge.
The purpose of the project is to improve the treatment standards of wastewater and to allow full compliance with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
The proposed operation will have a positive impact on the environment. All liquid waste from the Senne basin will be treated and the river will thus be able to revert to its original state. The project is to provide the population with an efficient treatment system in order to preserve the water habitat and its connected activities.
The procurement has been carried out in compliance with EU Directives, subsequent to a negotiated procedure concluded with the award to the Borrower of the DBFO concession in June 2001.
