CONSTRUCTION NEWS
Egis, a major player in the construction engineering and mobility service sectors, has secured a contract from Qatar's public works authority Ashghal for the design, build, operation and maintenance within the first phase of Integrated Industrial Wastewater Treatment Works project in Doha.
The scope of work includes provision of professional consultancy services in connection with designing, building, operating and maintaining the future Qatari Integrated Industrial Waste Water Treatment Plant.
The contract, signed earlier this year, engages a team of 18 professionals for a period of over 4 years, said the statement from Egis.
The Integrated Industrial Wastewater Treatment Works Phase I will provide treatment for up to 10,000 cu m/d of tankered industrial wastewaters arising from light industries generated within the Doha Industrial Area Catchment.
The new facility will be designed with the flexibility to treat the range of influent characteristics representative of industrial activities in the catchment to Treated Industrial Effluent (TIE) standards, said the statement.
It will be constructed approximately 2km Southwest of Doha Industrial Area, in the vicinity of the existing Industrial Area Sewerage Treatment Works (Phase 1 & 2A and extension 2B) in order to minimize cost and footprint, and allow for proximity to the existing and new deep injection wells for blended treated effluent disposal.
Philippe Berthet, Regional Director for Major Structures, Water, Environment and Energy at Egis said the company has been a preferred partner for many water-related projects in Qatar, including Industrial Area Sewage Treatment Plant, Al Karaana Rehabilitation, TSE Seasonal Lagoon or Doha West Sewage Treatment Plant.
"Our experience and know-how are highly valued by Ashghal, and we are honoured to be part of country’s strategic infrastructure projects" he added.-TradeArabia News Service
