Being shortlisted for this award highly recognizes the project's innovation and construction quality, while also delivering a replicable and scalable CCCC solution for global water infrastructure development.
Recently, a high-quality drinking water plant project in the Jiangdong New Area of Haikou was successfully shortlisted for the Municipal Water Project of the Year at the Global Water Awards 2026.
Established by Global Water Intelligence (GWI) in 2005, the Global Water Awards serve as the most authoritative and influential accolades in the global water sector, widely recognized as the industry's highest honor.
The facility stands as China's first large-scale fully underground drinking water plant and the largest of its kind in Asia. It is designed to meet the high-quality water demands of 400,000 residents in the near term and 1.2 million in the long term. The project increases comprehensive land utilization efficiency by over 150% and is engineered to withstand category 17 severe typhoons.
The plant leverages an advanced dual ultrafiltration membrane, ozone, and activated carbon deep treatment process, integrated with an innovative bypass system. This setup effectively intercepts harmful substances such as colloids, bacteria, and viruses while retaining beneficial minerals, substantially enhancing water purity and public health standards.
Furthermore, the core treatment unit utilizes pressurized ultrafiltration membrane tanks to achieve 100% gravity filtration, eliminating the need for supplementary water pumps throughout the process. This approach significantly reduces carbon emissions and energy consumption, driving sustainable development in water operations.
Being shortlisted for this award highly recognizes the project's innovation and construction quality, while also delivering a replicable and scalable CCCC solution for global water infrastructure development.
