OCP Green Water Pipeline

Construction of a pipeline distribution system (219km pipeline with a design capacity 80 million m³/ year, a 25.000 m³ basin and the pumping station at the Jorf Lasfar Industrial site), bringing desalinated water to the Khouribga phosphate mine zone in central Morocco. The project will contribute to OCP’s strategy to (i) meet its operational water demand through non-conventional water by 2024, (ii) supply drinking water to neighboring towns, and (iii) support the development of high-value-added agricultural activities at OCP Jorf Lasfar Krakcha El Jadida Casablanca-Settat, Morocco. The Project cost is estimated at approximately US$486 million. Scope of works could include: Constructing a pipeline with a diameter of 1.3m that will be completely buried at a depth of 1.5m below ground. Water will be sourced from the Jorf Lasfar desalination complex, which consists of existing desalination plants constructed under the Wave I desalination program, and a new reverse osmosis desalination unit to be constructed under the Wave II program, expected to start in the last quarter of 2024. Wave II is considered an associated facility of the project, in line with PS1 requirements. The exact GPS location is not known and the Marker has been placed at OCP Jorf Lasfar Krakcha El Jadida Casablanca-Settat, 33.1121087, -8.5998223.
