Seven bids were submitted for engineering, procurement and construction contract
Egypts Construction Authority for Potable Water and Wastewater (CAPW) has received bids from contractors for the contract to expand the Abu Oweiqal water treatment plant.
According to sources close to the project, seven bids were submitted for the scheme, which will involve expanding the Abu Oweiqal water treatment plant by 500,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d) and building an associated discharge pipeline.
The following groups submitted bids:
- Alexandria Construction Company (local) / Veolia Environnement (France)
- Al-Nasr General Contracting (UAE)
- Arab Contractors (local) / Bamag (Germany)
- Ben Samar (Saudi Arabia)
- Hassan Allam & Sons (local) / Metito (UAE)
- Orascom Construction Industries (local) / Wabag (Austria)
- Samcrete (local) / Tro-Mechanical (UAE)
The Abu Oweiqal plant is one of several major water treatment plants Cairo is pushing ahead with. In October 2015, CAPW awarded the local Societe Egyptienne D Entreprises a deal worth about $10m to expand the capacity of the Al-Toukh water supply facility by 69,000 cm/d. The scheme is due to be completed in July 2017.
Cairo is also seeking to develop several water treatment facilities under its public-private partnership (PPP) model.
