As well as the design, build and installation of plant equipment, MAK Water provides efficient and professional industrial waste water, sewage and water treatment support for total peace of mind and reduced operator involvement with your water treatment solution.
MAK Water operates service offices in every mainland state in Australia, and is able to offer flexible solutions for service and maintenance (planned and emergency), remote monitoring, technical assistance and full operational and maintenance support.
Recently, the owner of a lithium mine undergoing expansion near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia required assistance with upgrade of the existing water infrastructure to provide a reliable supply of water for the new processing plant. With the water source being both variable and of limited availability, the focus was on a design that was also capable of treating process wastewater for reuse.
MAK Water was engaged by the owner to design and construct multiple water treatment plants and upgrade an existing plant onsite. MAK Water was also awarded a 3 year Operations Agreement to provide plant operators to maintain and operate all of the water treatment plants onsite.
The Operations Agreement is for the provision of plant operation, technical support, onsite maintenance (both planned and emergency), and the supply of consumables required for normal plant operation.
