The largest pumping site WAP has supported. A major station for the Senegalese capital that reshapes the scale of sanitation in Dakar. The city no longer discharges untreated wastewater into the sea: it now flows to the new outfall, with the polluting load absorbed upstream.

Technical specifications

  • Total flow rate7,200 m³/h
  • Pumps5 units of 1,440 m³/h at 21 m head
  • Unit power125 kW
  • ConfigurationDry pit
  • Population equivalent1,691,956 PE

Dry-pit pumps

A strong technical choice: pumps installed out of water, direct access for maintenance without draining. Higher long-term reliability, maintenance work without full station shutdown. Suited to the constraints of a major public operator that cannot afford long stoppages.

WAP scope

Complete supply of the pumping station: pumps, piping, valves, stainless manifolds welded in our workshops, electrical cabinets, instrumentation. Third-party inspection before shipment, consolidation in Marseille, tracking up to the port of Dakar.
