Project Details
The project involved construction, completion, operation and maintenance of the new sewage pumping station at Mishrif, with a design capacity of 340,000m3 per day, at a depth of more than 40m below ground. Additionally, the scope of work included supplying, installation by non-disruptive methods (micro-tunneling), testing and commissioning of the main pressure and gravity pipelines connecting the pumping station to the Ardiya WWTP.
The works were comprised of extensive civil, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation activities, in addition to operation and maintenance of the station for a period of 3 years after commissioning.
Scope of Work
