Local contracting company Al Yamama has won a contract to design and build an expanded wastewater treatment plant in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

Awarded by Saudi Arabia's main potable water and wastewater collection and treatment entity, National Water Company (NWC), the contract Al Yamama has won is valued at SR788.7m ($197m).

The plant expansion project will have a capacity of 200,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d).

It involves the construction of an integrated wastewater treatment plant with supporting buildings and facilities.

According to MEED Projects data, the project includes constructing a terminal pump station, sludge digestion tanks, effluent treatment units, water distribution pipelines and installing an odour control system.

In November, NWC said it had earmarked SR102.9bn for the implementation of 1,294 water and wastewater projects across the kingdom.

According to its CEO, Nemer bin Mohammed Al Shebl, the schemes range from expansion projects for water and wastewater networks to the construction of water and wastewater treatment plants.

Al Shebl invited interested local and international companies to "seize safe investment opportunities in the water sector through the implementation of the water and environmental treatment projects offered by the company".
