Abu Dhabi Sewage Services Company (ADSSC) will tender contracts to build two major new sewage plants and the GCC’s first deep tunnel sewer by early 2008, according to ADSSC managing director Alan Thomson.
The contracts will be awarded to joint ventures in both Abu Dhabi and in Al-Ain under build-own-operate concessions.
“We are in the final stages of appointing a programme manager for the tunnel and this should happen in January 2008 at the latest,” says Thomson. “The new sewage treatment plants will be completed in 2010.”
The ADSSC is a government entity set up in 2005 to own and run Abu Dhabi’s sewers.
Thomson says it is treating more than 500,000 cubic metres a day of effluent in its two main sewage treatment plans in Abu Dhabi and Al-Ain.
Following the completion of a sewage masterplan early this year, the ADSSC decided to develop a deep-tunnel sewer that would replace some of the existing pumping stations.
