The assembly and installation work, comprising 400 t of steel for the 34 supports and 35 sections of 33 m each, involved around 15 employees day and night for 3 months, as well as specific equipment:
Nautical equipment:
- 1 pusher boat

- 1 spider basket
-Land equipment:
- 2 bogies to pull the gangways
- 2 crane trucks
- 3 telescopic trolleys
This network will secure drinking water access for 46,000 households in the coming weeks.
