Installation Development Plan

A detailed technical study should be conducted to assess the condition, capacity, and performance of the existing water pipe system and the aging electrical substation, with the aim of upgrading them to meet current operational needs and future demand. The study will evaluate system integrity, reliability, safety, and compliance with relevant standards, and will form the basis for a phased upgrading plan to enhance efficiency, resilience, and continuity of terminal operations.
