Saudi Arabia’s Water & Electricity Company (WEC) has invited expressions of interest (EOI) for the development of an independent sewage treatment plant (ISTP) located near the city of Taif in the kingdom’s Makkah province.

On completion, the new ISTP will boast a total treatment capacity of up to 270,000 cu m per day, said the Saudi utility firm.

In line with Saudi Vision 2030 and WEC’s ambitious programme, a series of new ISTPs will be commisioned to meet the future sewage treatment requirements of the kingdom. The Taif ISTP will have several leading global industry experts in the advisory role.

Mizuho Bank will act as the lead and financial advisor, while White & Case LLP is the legal advisor and WS Atkins & Partners Overseas Engineering Consultants is the technical advisor.
