South Korean steelmaker POSCO has announced that its subsidiary POSCO ICT has embarked on a project that will establish a monitoring system for water supply surveillance, control equipment and drainage networks in the major cities of Guinea, West Africa, namely Mongomo, Ebebiyin and Evinayong.
Infrastructure including power lines will be used to control sewage inflow. A broad closed-circuit television network will be set up for the project, which will help maintain equipment preservation and prevent water leakage.
POSCO ICT expects the project to contribute to supplying better quality water to locals through improved quality control in supplied water and drainage on a real-time basis, as well as helping preparation for possible natural disasters, such as floods by controlling sewage inflow.
The company has been performing well in its business, winning a number of domestic bids in South Korea.
