Lüleburgaz Wastewater Management, Turkey

Lüleburgaz, which is located approximately 60 kilometres south west of Istanbul, has a population of 100,000. Even though it has a population of this size, Lüleburgaz had no wastewater treatment facility and discharged untreated sewage into the Eugene River and ultimately into the Aegean Sea.

The provision of Supervision Services for a new wastewater treatment facility formed part of the project brief in addition to the provision of Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Programme for the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) and a Water Utility Department.

The Conditions of Contract were the FIDIC Yellow Book and our role was as "Engineer" for Supervision of the Works.

Key features of this project include:

• Extended Aeration 105,000PE WWTP
• 1,800m of 1,000mm main collector pipeline to the WWTP
• 262m of 800mm effluent discharge (outfall) main from the WWTP
• 16m of 400mm, 3,496m of 500mm and 1,645m of 600mm collectors to convey sewage to the WWTP
• Construction of wastewater pumping station complete plus 365m of associated 400mm rising main
• Construction of 3,500m of 5.0m x 2.0m long trapezoidal channel with a stabilised access road on both sides for the Kavak (Tosbağa) creek rehabilitation
