Veolia Water - Hayleys commission a pioneering centralised treatment plant in Pasikudah

A hi-tech central sewage and waste water treatment plant for the proposed National Holiday Resort at Pasikudah in the eastern region, comprising of 13 star class hotels, was commissioned this week, the company involved said.

The Rs 185 million ‘Lakdiyatha Pasikudah’ facility was designed and built, and will be operated for 20 years, by a joint venture involving the Veolia Water, India and Puritas Pvt Ltd. Veolia Water India, part of Veolia Water France, is a world leader in water and wastewater services. Puritas (Pvt) Ltd, a subsidiary of Haycarb PLC represents the Purification Sector of the Hayleys Group, the statement from Hayleys said.

The BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) project comprises a centralised treatment plant, more than eight kilometres of waste water lines and over four kilometres of treated water lines that link it with the 13 hotels spread over the 100 acres set aside for the resort. The plant utilises the new Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR) technology to treat 750 M3 of sewage and kitchen waste a day, and is designed for 100 per cent recycling of treated water.

The plant was formally commissioned by Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) Chairman Dr. Nalaka Godahewa, Sunil Hettiarachchi - Director General of the Ministry of Economic Development, Hayleys Group Chairman/CEO Mohan Pandithage, Fabrice Brochet - Executive Vice President Veolia Water Systems Development and Patrick Rousseau, Managing Director of Veolia Water India, along with other dignitaries and senior officials of Veolia Water and Hayleys Group.

“This ground-breaking project reflects not only the Hayleys Group’s and our partner Veolia Water’s, competencies in large-scale environmental solutions, but also our commitment to support economic resurgence in post-conflict Sri Lanka,” Hayleys Group Chairman Mr. Mohan Pandithage said. “It illustrates the potential for public-private partnerships, particularly in infrastructure development.”
SLTDA Chairman Dr. Nalaka Godahewa commissions the plant in the presence of officials of the Ministry of Economic Development and senior management of Veolia Water and Hayleys.
