Project update - September 2025

We reached a project milestone this month with the arrival of a drilling rig. The rig, which is 23 metres long, will bore holes for piles, which will support the marine pipeline’s tunnel boring machine.

During September, activities at the wastewater treatment plant included:

• Backfilling of old lagoons to prepare for new marine pipe infrastructure.

• McConnell Dowell, our contractor for building marine infrastructure, taking possession of the area where the marine intake pump station will be constructed.

• Preparation of an amenities pad for new site huts, which will be established soon.

Acciona, our partner that is building the reverse-osmosis component of the desalination plant, has been busy establishing its huts on site. They are now starting preliminary civil works to prepare for the construction and installation of the site’s buildings and reverse osmosis filtration systems.

We’ll continue to share project updates as we work toward delivering first water by the end of 2026.
