Extending Service Life: Sorek Desalination Plant
PROBLEM
Currently, Sorek is the largest reverse-osmosis desalination
plant worldwide. As an infrastructure facility built on the
seashore and designed to process seawater, longevity of the
plant’s concrete was a major concern. Construction plans included
the use of prefabricated concrete jack-pipe segments
(comprising the longest single-push concrete jack-pipe to date:
2.6 m [8.5 ft] ID, 1500 m [4921 ft]), concrete pretreatment sand
filtration bins, and concrete brine water reservoirs.
APPLICATION
Because of the aggressive environment, initial plans were to include
MCI® in all concrete components to protect the rebar reinforcement
and ensure continued service life for the planned
duration.
