Key points and frequently asked questions about Lantania's projects in Algeria
What strategic importance do these contracts have for Spanish companies?
These projects demonstrate the opportunities that exist in the North African market for Spanish engineering and construction companies specializing in high value-added niches, such as industrial water treatment. Technical expertise and the ability to adapt to complex environments are key factors for competitiveness.
What kind of technical challenges does the remodeling of an operating wastewater treatment plant present?
The execution of improvement works while the plant continues to operate, as in the case of the project of Afia Savola en OránIt requires extremely precise logistical and engineering planning to avoid disrupting the client's production processes. This involves exhaustive coordination and the phased implementation of construction solutions.
How do these projects align with sustainability (ESG) trends?
Industrial wastewater treatment plant upgrade projects are a clear response to the growing demand for sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations (the 'E' pillar of ESG criteria). By optimizing wastewater treatment, the environmental impact of industrial activity is reduced, and the groundwork is laid for future implementations of more advanced technologies, such as biological treatment.
