Spanish firm wins $102m Saudi water design deal
28 March 2024Saudi Arabia's National Water Company has awarded Seville-headquartered technology and engineering firm, Ayesa, a €95m ($102m) contract to design 190 sanitation and drinking water distribution projects in Saudi Arabia.
Ayesa will provide design consultancy services for the projects, which will require a capital expenditure of €5bn.
The project is part of a broader plan by NWC, the kingdom's main potable water and wastewater collection and treatment entity, to invest a total of roughly €200bn by 2030 "into comprehensive water cycle infrastructure including water treatment and sanitation processes to the delivery of potable water to its population".
Ayesa will design major hydraulic infrastructure across four regions in Saudi Arabia: south, west, northwest, and north.
The comprehensive plan includes the construction of multiple water storage tanks to enhance the reliability of the water supply, alongside the development of pumping stations, treatment plants, purification facilities and widespread distribution networks.
Ayesa will deliver the design of the planned hydraulic projects as well as provide environmental services such as environmental impact assessment and ecological assessments to the NWC during the bidding stage for the construction packages of the planned infrastructure.
The firm plans to tap "the most innovative technologies in water treatment, sustainable materials, and measures to optimise energy usage".
