700 mm diameter transmarine outlet pipe-
line was built as well as an 800 metre long,
1000 mm diameter pipeline for brining in
water. Both contained a section that was
anchored and another section that was
built by drilling horizontally in order to pre-
serve the Neptune grass pastures.
Progress achieved at the project
Work is currently ongoing to complete the
foundations of the entire facilities when the
harsh winter temperature of Montenegro
allows it. The structure of the control buil-
dings and workshop has been completed
and it is safe to say that 25% of the project
has been executed. Once the winter sea-
son is over, the major project involving the
construction of the elevations will commen-
ce.
Pending challenges

pected to secure the permits for the project.
Nevertheless, the project will be completed
on time. Other challenges include the up-
grading of the old tunnel through which the
waste water flows, installing a new collec-
tor in its interior without interrupting the flow
through the old tunnel without damaging it.
FCC team’s contribution to the project was
mainly through Aqualia Infrastructure, an
FCC Group company with broad expe-
rience in the construction of wastewater
treatment plants and its capacity to face
unexpected challenges in the projects
where it is involved. The company also has
excellent relations with the project manage-
ment and owners.
