Muscat-based Monenco Consulting Engineers has been appointed as the consultant for a major wastewater network upgrade and extension project in Dhofar Governorate in Oman.

The three-year contract was awarded by Nama Dhofar Services, a subsidiary of state-owned Nama Group responsible for elecricity, water and wastewater services in the southern Omani governorate.

The project includes design and supervision services across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and control disciplines. It is part of broader efforts to expand critical utility networks in the governorate, which is Oman’s largest by area.

In February, Nama Dhofar Services commissioned the RO45m ($117m) Sahalnout sewerage project in Salalah, one of the largest wastewater infrastructure schemes in the Dhofar region.

It said the scheme will serve 4,000 connection points initially, with plans for future expansion to accommodate up to 20,000.

The utilities provider also recently carried out site assessments in the wilayat of Sadah for a planned wastewater treatment facility, part of its strategy to increase coverage from Salalah's current 76% to 95%.
