Riyadh–Qassim Independent Water Transmission Pipeline Project

planned

The Riyadh–Qassim IWTP is designed to strengthen water infrastructure in Riyadh and Al-Qassim, supplying drinking water to both regions. The pipeline will have a transmission capacity of 685,000 cubic meters per day and extend over 859 kilometers, featuring bi-directional flow. The project includes construction of six strategic storage tanks in Riyadh with a total capacity of 1,020,000 cubic meters and 32 operational tanks along the pipeline route with a total capacity of 571,000 cubic meters. It will integrate solar power solutions to reduce carbon emissions and draw on the electricity grid. The project is tendered under a Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) model with a concession period of 35 years starting from commercial operation expected in Q1 2030.
