Notice Title

Additional RO (Reverse Osmosis) Skid at Glen Rocky Distillery CAN

Notice Description

The British Forces Gibraltar (BFG) produces its own potable water and do not rely on host nation's water network. A water treatment plant (desalination system) is located at the Glen Rocky site which is operated and maintained by Veolia UK. Over the past months, the existing plant failed multiple times causing potable water shortage across the BFG. The main reason for the failure was the ageing system and it has become increasingly unreliable. In order to provide water resilience, there is a requirement to procure and install an additional Reverse Osmosis (RO) skid.
