Ras Laffan Reservoir
The Ras Laffan Reservoir, part of the highly prestigious Ras Laffan C project, will hold 63 million gallons and produce 275,000 m3 of potable water per day by 2011.
The Xypex two-coat system of Xypex Concentrate and Modified was used to waterproof and protect 37,999 m2 of potable water tanks. The largest of these tanks will take 1½ years to fill. Xypex products were also used on the cooling tower of 11,300 m2 and the sewage treatment plant of 377 m2.
Ras Laffan C is one of the most prestigious projects in the Middle East and, by 2011, will be the largest integrated water and power plant in the country, providing 30% of Qatar’s electricity and 20% of its potable water. It will also help to provide electricity to other Gulf States through a regional grid.
