Deep Tec and CCECC join hands to advance sustainable water and sanitation infrastructure in Sri Lanka

• New partnership combines international engineering expertise with local implementation capabilities to develop solar-powered water, purification and sanitation solutions

Leading Sri Lankan engineering solutions provider for Agriculture Solutions Deep Tec Engineering Ltd., has entered into a strategic partnership with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), strengthening efforts to introduce sustainable and renewable-energy-powered solutions for water, sanitation and environmental infrastructure across Sri Lanka.

Under a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Deep Tec Engineering has been appointed as an Authorised Local Engineering and Business Partner of CCECC. The partnership will create new opportunities for the development and implementation of infrastructure solutions that address the country’s growing requirements for reliable water supply, sanitation and environmental management.

The collaboration will bring together CCECC’s international engineering and construction capabilities with Deep Tec’s knowledge of Sri Lanka’s market, engineering requirements and project implementation environment. Areas of potential collaboration include solar-powered sewage treatment systems, solar-powered drinking water systems, solar-powered water purification systems and other clean-water infrastructure solutions.

The partnership is expected to serve a broad range of stakeholders while supporting the adoption of infrastructure solutions that combine environmental sustainability with long-term operational reliability.

For Deep Tec, the agreement represents an expansion of its engineering portfolio beyond solar water pumping into a wider range of sustainable water and environmental infrastructure solutions.

Deep Tec Engineering Founder and Managing Director Thilina Hettiarachchi said, “This partnership creates an opportunity to combine CCECC’s international engineering and project capabilities with the practical knowledge and experience we have developed in Sri Lanka. Our objective is to develop solutions that are not only technologically advanced, but also appropriate for Sri Lanka’s conditions and capable of delivering lasting value to the communities and institutions they serve.”

Established in 2014, Deep Tec Engineering entered the solar water pumping sector in 2017 and has since developed a nationwide presence in water infrastructure. The company has completed more than 5,000 water infrastructure projects across 25 districts, with its systems supporting more than 50,000 farmers. The company estimates that its solutions account for approximately 24% of rural water pumping demand in Sri Lanka.

Deep Tec also has more than 13MW of grid-connected solar PV capacity and has undertaken institutional infrastructure projects valued at more than USD 3 million for organisations including the World Bank, the United Nations and World Vision. Its project portfolio also includes the water supply and fire safety infrastructure delivered for Port City Colombo.

The agreement with CCECC builds on Deep Tec’s expanding network of strategic partnerships. The company recently entered into an MoU with the Young Members Section of the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL YMS) through its AgriTech Spark initiative, supporting the development of engineering and innovation capabilities in Sri Lanka’s agricultural technology sector.

The latest partnership is expected to further strengthen Deep Tec’s position as an engineering solutions provider while opening avenues for greater collaboration between international engineering expertise and Sri Lankan technical capabilities.
