Haya Water will award four projects worth nearly RO150mn by the end of this year for the development of wastewater systems in Amerat. This was announced as the company signed a RO26.7mn deal with Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) to develop the Qurm and Madinat al Ilam phase of the Muscat wastewater project.
Speaking to Muscat Daily on the sidelines of the deal-signing ceremony on Monday, Haya Water CEO Hussain Hassan Ali AbdulHussain said the tender has already been announced for four contracts in Amerat - one for a sewage treatment plant and three linked to networks.
He said, "The total value of these four projects is estimated to be around RO150mn.
"The contracts have already been tendered and we are in the process of evaluation and receiving bids. I hope we will award these four projects by the end of this year."
Haya Water's contract with CCC will deliver another important phase of the company's ongoing water reuse project in the Qurm and al Ilam areas.
The new contract was signed at the Muscat Municipality office by H E Eng Sultan bin Hamdoon al Harthy, chairman of Haya Water, and Fathi Ahmed, regional managing director of CCC, to construct wastewater facilities as part of the ongoing delivery of modern wastewater services to the wilayat of Bausher.
The 30-month contract is expected to deliver a wide range of services, including 40km of sewer pipes, 66km of lateral pipes, 13 pumping stations, 885 manholes, 5,600 inspection chambers and around 5,000 home and government property connections by the end of 2014.
AbdulHussain said that the Qurm and al Ilam phase, which is part of the Bausher project, is one of the most important elements of the overall water reuse project and when completed will deliver services to over 20,000 people.
He added that at present Haya Water has 12 ongoing projects, of which six are in the Seeb area and others in the Bausher, Wadi Kabir and Darsait areas.
He said, "The total value of the 12 ongoing projects is around RO500mn which includes two treatment plants in Seeb and Darsait with a capacity of 80,000m3 and 40,000m3 per day, respectively."
