Project Title

Umm Al Hayman Wastewater Treatment Plant (the "Plant") and Sewer Network with Pumping Stations (the "Facilities") together the Project (the "Project")

ISIC

International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) - 3700 (Sewerage)

The Plant (Build, Operate & Transfer (BOT))

Design and construction of the Plant Operate and Maintain the Plant for 25 years

The Facilities (Design, Build & Operate (DBO))

A sewer network with pumping stations Operate and Maintain the sewer network with pumping stations for 3 years

Under the BOT works scheme, the Umm Al Hayman Wastewater Treatment Plant was designed, constructed and commissioned. The Company will further maintain and operate the plant with a capacity of 500,000 m3 sewage water per day serving 1.7 million people in the south of Kuwait for a period of 25 years. A potential expansion of the plant by 200,000 m3 per day to a total capacity of 700,000 m3 is provided. Further, under the scope of the BOT works an electrical substation will supply the plant with 300 kv, and Emergency Sea Outfall will be used to dispose excess fully Treated Sewage Effluent into the sea in case when production is higher than the demand

Under the DBO works scheme the UAH DBO Company for General Contracting for Building S.P.C. (100% subsidiary of the Company) the existing facilities of sewage water and treated sewage effluent are extended to a Sewer System of 450 km in total. The Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) can be stored within the 39 TSE reservoirs, each with a capacity ranging from 2000 up to 160,000 m3. As part of this, the pump station as well as the sewage network is operated and maintained for 3 years.

Construction Activities

As the main technical contractor for the Company, Wassertechnik Essen GmbH (WTE) from Germany is responsibility for the design and construction of a wastewater treatment plant (contract value of around KWD 200 million) as well as - together with partners – erect a sewer network with pumping stations and a TSE network with Reservoirs (contract value of around KWD 320 million) . With a huge and complex construction scope, this is considered one of the world’s largest and most complex wastewater projects.

WTE is one of Europe’s leading full-service suppliers and possesses a unique set of know-how. WTE employs this knowledge to create future-assured solutions that set international standards in terms of energy efficiency, use of resources and investment costs. WTE feels committed and bound to this sustainable approach, having already implemented it in more than 100 projects in 18 countries.

Within a timeframe of 30 months for the Plant and 48 months for the sewerage system with pumping stations, the Project is implemented.

Operational Performance

The operational and maintenance services are also outsourced to WTE.
