Jacobs appointed to deliver feasibility study for potential desalination plant in Singapore
Study to assess land-optimized and dual-mode desalination designs to support Singapore’s long-term water security
Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been appointed by national water agency PUB to deliver a feasibility study for a potential new desalination plant in Singapore, supporting the nation’s long-term water security.
The study will explore innovative designs that maximize land efficiency in one of the world’s most land-constrained urban environments and integrate multiple uses, such as incorporating higher multistory buildings or deeper basements which could house treatment facilities.
The study will also examine the viability of a dual-mode facility capable of treating both seawater and freshwater to improve operational flexibility and weather resilience of Singapore’s water supply. Jacobs will provide advisory and feasibility services including conceptual design development, treatment technology assessment, construction methodology analysis, lifecycle cost evaluation and risk assessment.
