The contract, estimated to take 36 months, consists of providing to the Israeli authorities, represented by the Kishon Drainage & Rivers Authority and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the services of its Biogenie division to decontaminate over 7 km of the Kishon River, which has its source west of the Galilee and flows into Haifa Bay.
With its biotreatment technology (Biopile) developed and improved over the last 30 years, EnGlobe and its Biogenie division will have the responsibility of decontaminating over half a million cubic meters of sediments, in addition to supervising the construction of the future recreational and ecological park that will benefit to all Haifa residents and the surroundings. At the end of the project, more than 220,000 million shekels will have been invested by the authorities to improve the quality of the water of this former industrial zone while converting the site to benefit the local residents.

This constitutes for EnGlobe the recognition of our technical expertise in site remediation, our fundamental value for rigorous execution and the experience we demonstrated in the execution of over 6000 remediation on-site projects as well as the annual treatment of over 1.5 million tons of contaminated soils at our treatment facilities around the world", indicated Mr. Mario Saucier, President and CEO of EnGlobe.
