Dubai Municipality has approved a project worth Dh1.5 billion ($410 million) to construct a new sewage treatment plant in Jebel Ali.
The contract for the construction of the 300,000 cu m per day wastewater treatment facility was signed between a joint venture of local contractor Al Ahmadiah and Greek contractor, Aktor, and the Dubai Municipality last week.
The contract constitutes the first phase of the new Jebel Ali Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) project, which has a projected capacity of 1.1 million cu m per day. This capacity will be built up over a number of phases which will be sized and programmed to suit the growth in wastewater flows produced by the ongoing and future developments of Dubai. The new plant is to be built on a 675 hectare desert site located south-east of the Jebel Ali Free Zone.
