A consortium consisting of Spain’s Acciona and Saudi partners Tawzea and Tamasuk has secured a contract for financing, construction and 25-year operation of three major wastewater treatment plants in Saudi Arabia, according to Trade Arabia.
These new contracts, worth a combined €855 million ($1.02 billion), were awarded by the state-owned Saudi Water Partnership Co.
These are the first BOOT/EPC (build, own, operate and transfer/engineering, procurement and construction) contracts Acciona has signed in the area of wastewater treatment in the Middle East.
The three wastewater treatment plants — Madinah-3, Buraydah-2 and Tabuk-2 — will each have a collection well and pumping station, pretreatment installation, biological reactor, sludge line, and recycled water pumping station.
Madinah-3 will be located in the fourth most populated city in Saudi Arabia and will have a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters per day (expandable to 375,000 cubic mete
