Aqaba-Amman Water Desalination PPP Project

closed

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 100 million cubic metres (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 executed in two phases. Phase I will supply 130 mcm/year of domestic water starting in 2025, comprising 100 mcm/year of desalinated water and 30 mcm/year from groundwater. Phase II will incrementally increase system capacity to 220 mcm/year.
