Free Trade Zone Groundwater Treatment & Water Supply Project, Lagos, Nigeria
Industrial Park Water Supply System | Iron & Manganese Removal + RO | EPC Delivery
1 Project Overview
The Free Trade Zone Groundwater Treatment and Water Supply Project is a key infrastructure development project located in Lagos State, Nigeria.
The project is invested and constructed by China Railway Construction Corporation and serves as a core utility infrastructure for the Free Trade Zone.
With a designed capacity of 3,000 m³/day, the system utilizes local groundwater as raw water and provides both domestic and industrial water supply for enterprises within the industrial park.
Due to high iron and manganese content and significant water quality fluctuations in West African groundwater, the project implements an advanced groundwater purification and water supply system to ensure stable and safe water supply.
