WEG, The Global Leader in Manufacturing Turbines and Electric Motors, Contributes to Access to Drinking Water in Morocco

WEG supplied ten W60 line motors, with powers ranging from 900 to 2,500 kW, for the Al Massira dam, considered the second largest reservoir of drinking water in Morocco, reaffirming once again its focus and expertise when it comes to dedicated technology to develop efficient products and integrated solutions for the Water and Sanitation segment, products that stand out for their flexibility in projects, adapting to the most rigorous demands of customers in different applications.

The Al Massira dam, located near the city of Marrakesh in Morocco, counts with a storage capacity of over two billion cubic meters. To reinforce the production and access to this resource adequately for consumption, a project was initiated by the National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE).

Works at the Dam Will Benefit Approximately Two Million Inhabitants and Provide Water for the OCP Mining Company in Morocco

The works in which WEG will supply equipment aim to meet the growing demand for drinking water by 2030 for the cities of Marrakesh, Al Haouz, and Al Kelaa, and will benefit approximately two million inhabitants.

The project will also meet the water supply needs for the mining company Office Chérifien de Phosphates (OCP), located in Ben Gueirr.

The WEG motors from the W60 line feature an optimized and robust design, with excellent power density.

The WEG motors with powers ranging from 900 to 2,500 kW allow adjustments that ensure high performance in environments with various temperature ranges and are designed for industrial applications such as compressors, pumps, fans, and mills, being suitable for speed variation and operation with frequency inverters and soft-starters.
