The facility will supply 130,000 tons of chilled water daily to cool more than 15,000 residential and commercial units, which provides comfort to 40,000 Pearl-Qatar residents. The chilled water will be distributed through an underground network of 10-ft. tall pipes laid out across the island and delivery and installation of the chiller units is expected to begin in December
