Sacyr and Ferrovial to expand Spanish desalination plant

Sacyr Water and Ferrovial Construcción and Cadagua will expand and operate the Aguilas desalination plant in Murcia, Spain, for a four-year period, extendable for an additional year.

The €51.5 million project will turn the Aguilas plant into the second largest in Spain, with a desalination capacity of 70 hm3/year.

This project, awarded by Acuamed, will increase the facility’s daily desalination capacity by 30,000 m3, so it will be able to treat up to 210,000 m3 of seawater per day.
