Saudi Arabia’s Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) has deployed leak detection system supplied by Aesthetix for its 450-kilometre long Rabigh to Jeddah and Rabigh to Mastorah (RJM) Water Transmission System.
The project aims to enhance availability of water in the Makkah region, and includes a reservoir, water-pumping stations, long-haul water pipeline systems, hydraulic control systems, communication setup, and a control centre.
“Aesthetix has designed, manufactured, and supplied the Pipeline Leak Detection System (PLDS) for the project, which will assist in maintaining constant monitoring of the water transmission,” the Dubai-based company said in a press statement.
The Rabigh to Jeddah stretch has a capacity of 1.25 million cubic metres per day (m3/day) while the Rabigh to Mastorah (RJM) stretch has a capacity of 50,000 m3/day.
