Infrastructure Needs Program, Phase II (INP II), West Bank and Gaza

Trigon Associates served as a major subcontractor on the USAID infrastructure program with the West Bank/Gaza Mission, providing A&E services throughout the program. Trigon also held many of the key program-level positions. The INP II made infrastructure and capacity improvements necessary to promote economic growth and improve the quality of life for Palestinians; developed the professional skills of local engineers, construction managers, and contractors in the infrastructure sector; and created skilled and unskilled jobs for local workers. The program included a wide range of efforts and project types, spanning the full spectrum of technical areas, such as: water, wastewater and transportation infrastructure. A few representative projects/task orders include:

• Gaza Water Reservoirs and Booster Stations: Design of four (4) new water storage reservoirs and associated booster stations and pipelines due to damages from the 2014 Gaza conflict.
