Egis wins contract for new industrial wastewater treatment project in DohaQatar’s public works authority, Ashghal, has awarded Egis a design, build, operation and maintenance contract for the first phase of the Integrated Industrial Wastewater Treatment Works project in Doha.

The deal outlines the provision of professional consultancy services in relation to designing, building, operating and maintaining the wastewater treatment plant.

The contract engages a team of 18 professionals for a period of over four years, said the statement from Egis.

The Integrated Industrial Wastewater Treatment Works Phase I is expected to provide treatment for up to 10,000cu m/d of tankered industrial wastewaters generated from light industries within the Doha Industrial Area Catchment. The 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, the statement noted.

Egis has been a preferred partner for several water-related projects in Qatar including the Industrial Area Sewage Treatment Plant, Al Karaana Rehabilitation, TSE Seasonal Lagoon and the Doha West Sewage Treatment Plant, noted Philippe Berthet, regional director for Major Structures, Water, Environment and Energy at Egis.

He said, “Our experience and know-how are highly valued by Ashghal, and we are honoured to be part of country’s strategic infrastructure projects.”

The new plant will be built approximately 2km Southwest of the Doha Industrial Area, in the vicinity of the existing Industrial Area Sewerage Treatment Works (Phase 1 & 2A and extension 2B), in order to minimise cost and footprint, and allow for proximity to the existing and new deep injection wells for blended treated effluent disposal.
