Aqaba Amman Water Desalination and Conveyance PPP Project

project in tender

The project involves the design, construction and operation of a seawater desalination plant and conveyance in Aqaba, the capital city of Jordan. The scope of works includes the development of a seawater desalination plant for a 100 mcm/year capacity with provision for expansion; a seawater intake and outfall pipeline system as well as a conveyance pipeline and reservoir system for a 220 mcm/year capacity during the first phase; and the conveyance system pumping stations for 220 mcm/year for the civil works and 100 mcm/year for the mechanical and electrical system. The project will be implemented in two phases. The BOT contractor will be required to provide the GOJ with 130 mcm/year of domestic water in Phase I to meet its future needs for the year 2025 onwards. The Phase I water source will be 100 mcm/year from desalinated water and 30 mcm/year from groundwater. Phase II of the project will be implemented in incremental increases to the system capacity up to 220 mcm/year.
