Thirteen prequalify for Ras Al-Khaimah STP package

2 September 2024

 

Ras Al-Khaimah's Public Services Department (PSD) and Investment & Development Office (IDO) have prequalified 13 companies and consortiums to bid for a contract to develop and operate a sewage treatment plant (STP) project in the UAE's northern emirate.

The proposed plant will be able to treat 60,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d) of sewage water, which could be expanded to 150,000 cm/d.

According to industry sources, the prequalified bidders include:

  • Acciona (Spain)
  • Besix (Belgium)
  • China Harbour Engineering Company (China) / BOWT
  • Cobra (Tedagua, Spain)
  • GS Inima (Spain/South Korea) / Alkhorayef Water & Power Technologies (Saudi Arabia)
  • Etihad Water & Electricity (EWE, UAE) / Saur  (France)
  • FCC Aqualia (Spain)
  • MA Kharafi (Kuwait) / Passavant Energy & Environment (UAE, Germany)
  • Metito
  • Miahona Company (Saudi Arabia)
  • Orascom Construction (Egypt)
  • Sustainable Water Solutions (UAE)
  • Veolia Middle East (France/local)

Two companies that previously provided utility services in the UAE, Abu Dhabi Sustainable Water Solutions and Etihad Water & Electricity, have been prequalified to bid for the contract to develop the project.

The scope of the build, own, operate and transfer scheme will include extensive sewerage and distribution works, in addition to the STP.

It is understood that PSD and IDO expect to receive bids from prequalified developers by the end of November.

This is the first STP public-private partnership (PPP) that is being developed by the Ras Al-Khaimah authorities.

Etihad Water & Electricity met with developers in July to discuss another potential utility PPP project for the northern emirate.

The project involves extending an existing seawater reverse osmosis plant in Ghalilah, which became operational in 2015. 

If successfully procured, it will be the first independent water project in Ras Al-Khaimah.
