Message from Executive Chairman & Group CEO
Our EPC teams have been busy commissioning a number of water plants in Singapore and the region … each commissioned plant contributes to the sustainability of water resources and the environment.
DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Over the last year, our EPC teams have been busy commissioning a number of water plants in Singapore and the region. Some of these plants have started contributing to our recurring income base. Regardless of the size, treatment capacity and application, each commissioned plant contributes to the sustainability of water resources and the environment.
Let me share with you how we have helped to address water shortage and water pollution issues in three of our key markets.
Tuaspring Desalination Plant (Tuaspring) by Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong on 18 September 2013 established
membrane-based desalination, particularly in a market considered to be among the most competitive in the world.
Tuaspring adds an additional 318,500 m3 of water per day
Together with SingSpring
also developed and is operating, both desalination plants are able to meet up to 25% of
demand. The start of operations at Tuaspring also proved to be
Singapore faced a prolonged dry spell.
Related to Tuaspring was the
desalination facility and the on-site 411 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant which was completed on competitive terms – signifying a strong endorsement on the bankability
branding.
In China, we commissioned our largest wastewater treatment plant to date. The 150,000 m3/day capacity Zunyi Wastewater Treatment Plant in Guizhou Province is sited on an irregular plot of land on hilly terrain which posed challenges for the design and construction of the plant. We were able to complete the plant within a tight time frame, delivering a solution that surpassed the
water quality of the nearby river and the surrounding environment. As importantly, we were able to provide employment opportunities to the local community.
In India, we were responsible for
based water recycling plant in Surat, an industrial estate in the Gujarat state. The 40,000 m3/day plant treats wastewater into industrial grade water for re-use, thus providing a secure and reliable source of water for the industrial estate.

It marked another major step in the country’s journey towards water sustainability. The desalination plant which has a capacity of 318,500 m3/day delivers desalinated water to PUB over a 25-year period from 2013 to 2038. Desalinated water is one of Singapore’s Four National Taps, along with local catchment water, imported water and NEWater, Singapore’s own brand of reclaimed water. With the opening of the Tuaspring Desalination Plant, desalinated water from the country’s two desalination plants can meet up to 25% of Singapore’s current water demand.

Operating Review
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Despite expectations that improving economic conditions would drive investments in water infrastructure projects, 2013 remained a challenging year for the global water industry. The number of project delays and cancellations continued to outweigh the number of new projects coming into the market due to the fragility of the global economic recovery.
This economic climate has dampened the investment environment for large water projects, but the gap between the needs of the world’s growing population and the natural resources available keeps widening. More than one billion people currently have no access to
drinking water and close to 2.6 billion have no access to basic sanitation. Furthermore, rapid industrialisation, population growth and economic growth can only be sustained if reliable supplies of municipal and industrial water increase. Reliance on alternative renewable sources of water such as desalination and wastewater reuse will only increase as the over exploitation of natural freshwater resources continue to intensify. Global Water Intelligence estimates that the global water and wastewater treatment market is worth some US$177 billion (Global Water Markets 2014). The growth rates for capital expenditure on seawater desalination and on wastewater are expected to be
