Ashghal awards sewage network contract for Doha

23 January 2008
Qatar’s Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has signed a contract for the construction of the network to serve the Doha North sewage treatment plant with South Korea’s Ultra Construction & Engineering Company.

The QR1.3bn ($357m) contract covers the construction of 32 kilometres of sewage pipes and the construction of a main pipeline with a diameter of 1.6 metres, from the planned pumping station at Al-Khisa to the Doha North plant.

Ultra will begin work on the project in February 2008. The Doha North sewage treatment plant will have a capacity of 439,000 cubic metres a day, making it the country’s largest.

Singapore’s Keppel Seghers was awarded the $1.5bn design-build-operate contract for the plant in September (MEED 27:9:07).
