Seawater desalination

Bilfinger Berger Australia, together with partners, has received an order to design and build a seawater desalination plant near the South Australian capital of Adelaide. The company is responsible for the design and construction of infrastructure and operational buildings, including two underwater tunnels. The project is valued at some €410 million, of which Bilfinger Berger will account for € 165 million. The client is the state-owned South Australian Water Corporation.

The project gives Bilfinger Berger access to the growing market of seawater de salination in Australia. In the Persian Gulf, the company is already one of the leading providers of maintenance services for desalination and water treatment plants.
