Introduction

Oxfam is a global movement of people, working together to end the injustice of poverty through campaigning and responding to the needs of the poor. Oxfam has been working in Lebanon since 1993. We provide humanitarian assistance to vulnerable people affected by conflict, and we promote economic justice and good governance, and women’s rights. Oxfam also works with local partners to contribute to the protection and empowerment of marginalized women and men.  

Following consultations and discussions with the Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Establishment (BMLWE) on requirements to improve the water supply to vulnerable communities, Oxfam with the support of the Lebanon Humanitarian Fund (LHF), will install a solar system to power the water pumping station located in Daraya (El Chouf).

Projects description

Daraya pump station

The site is located in the village of Daraya, in the Chouf district of Mount Lebanon.  Oxfam is seeking a surveyor to prepare survey data and survey reports to commence the solar design.

The solar modules will be installed in the Daraya water tank station located at GPS 33°38'21.8"N 35°30'09.6"E. The approximate area is 500 m2, and the solar modules will be used to power the water pumping station 300 meters away, located at GPS 33°38'12.7"N 35°30'13.6"E.

The surveyor shall prepare a survey for the land on both sites and specify the area for solar modules in the tank station and the route to the water pumping station (as given by Oxfam Solar Engineer), and submit a drawing for the land specifying the solar modules area signed and stamped including the road reaching the solar modules and pump station areas.
