In addition, DSI is also responsible for building and operating waste water treatment plants and water purification plants and for the infrastructure measures this requires. Another important field of activity is preventive flood control, which is also the responsibility of the General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works.
Numerous crawler tractors are employed alongside other earthmoving machines when building dams and flood protection dykes and when realising infrastructure measures and general earthworks.
