Egis awarded EPCM contract at Al Karaana in Qatar

April 17, 2015 12:44 pm

 Located in the Al Rayyan region, west of Doha, the Al Karaana lagoon covers more than 4 sq.km and is raising serious environmental problems. Almost 60,000 cubic metres of untreated wastewater per day is discharged onto this site by tanker, most notably causing the contamination of the water table by infiltration, producing foul odours and creating safety risks connected with the transport of sewage.
The Public Works Authority of Qatar, Ashgal, awarded Egis with an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract to rehabilitate this lagoon. Ashgal wishes for the eradication of the lagoon and the site’s comprehensive overhaul, in continuance of the measures taken to date to mitigate its environmental impact.
Egis is an international group offering engineering, project structuring and operations services. In engineering and consulting, its sectors of activity include transport, urban development, building, industry, water, environment and energy. In roads and airports its offer is enlarged to encompass project structuring, equity investment, turnkey systems delivery, and operation and maintenance services.
This new contract gained follows another one awarded several weeks ago, also in the water sector: the extension of the Doha West waste water treatment and recycling plant.
