WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
WINNER MIPIM AWARDS 2013 BEST INDUSTRIAL & LOGISTICS DEVELOPMENT NOMINATION GERMAN DESIGN AWARDS 2014
A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a big territorial “filter" which roughly purifies water after urban use before returning it to the sea. So if we imagine the image of a "filter" could be the image of the treatment plant. A filter between spaces, between landscapes, a light filter or an industrial image installation. The Alt Maresme WWTP project includes sewage sanitation system consisting of 3 different facilities and strategically located in the territory, the Pump Station (PS) at the mouth of the stream of Pineda, the Pretreatment (PT) in front the beach near a small cemetery, and the treatment of sludge and waters line, located in the former Montpalau’s quarry (WWTP).
