After the successful first project together (Mafraq & Ramtha Water System Improvements). TECCO was the preferred bidder by Mercy Corps to construct the critical project of the New Jaber Pump Station and 500 m3 Reservoir.

This project in specific was a real challenge,  firstly as it was a design and build job which demanded TECCO to team up with one of Jordan's top design firms (Sobeh Consulting Engineering Office). Secondly and importantly, the project's site is located inside an existing operational pump station. where all the elements of the new pumping station had to be constructed, tested and commissioned  before switching over from the old to the new system. this resembled a true challenge as all construction activities were carried out around live electrical and water lines, without any stoppage to the pumping or health and safety incidents.

Civil Scope of Work:

500 m3 RC concrete reservoir:

• 60 cm cyclopean concrete sub-base.
• 50 cm C35 sulphate resistant RC fair face raft-foundation with 25 cm rubber water stop.
