A joint venture of Septech and Ashbrook Simon-Hartley has been appointed to carry out the task of supplying and installing water process equipment to Atlantis, The Palm.

The $30 million installation will ensure the unique water attractions, integral to the success of the theme park, are maintained using high quality water.
“Septech won the contract because of its local understanding of the market and international expertise,” says David Heffernan, managing director of Septech.
“Our combined experience with joint venture partner, Ashbrook Simon-Hartley in designing, manufacturing and installing high quality equipment for water and wastewater treatment applications spans 100 years, 35 of which have been spent on jobs in the Middle East,” explains Heffernan.
Together with the local authorities, Septech will be responsible for managing a range of environmentally sensitive factors – a natural spin off from projects of this magnitude and nature.
“The need for aqua culturist support has been identified as a major priority,” Heffernan said.
“We have already undertaken extensive research into similar waterscape projects around the world. This research has led to the establishment of a network of specialists with specific experience gained within the last five years conducting process design, construction, operational work and commissioning of various water parks internationally.”
Septech will adopt an integrated approach to the execution of work involved, including risk management, planning, quality management and environmental management.
Atlantis, The Palm, is located at the centre of the crescent of The Palm, Jumeirah and the waterscape will include one of the world’s largest man-made marine habitats as well as water slides to cater for local and international visitors.
