Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC) has awarded a Dh160 million contract to Concorde Industries to design, fabricate, construct, and commission a membrane bioreactor sewage treatment plant for the largest planned labour accommodation facility in the UAE, Concorde-Coro-dex Group's managing director Mahmoud Saleh Awad said on Tuesday.

"One of the challenges we face is to complete this mammoth plant in the record time of 11 months. However, we are confident about our engineering capabilities that we will be able to finish it on time," said Awad at the contract signing ceremony.

The contract was signed by Awad and Alan Thomson, the managing director of ADSSC.

The facility will treat waste water from the Construction Workers' Residential City (CWRC), a planned Dh418 million labour compound in the Al Mafraq area of Abu Dhabi.

Capacity

The plant will have the capacity to recycle used water and sewage of up to 30,000 cubic metres a day and will treat the waste water produced by up to 32,000 workers, technicians and supervisors. Once the water is purified almost to the level of potable water, it will be re-used in the machinery and cooling facilities within the CWRC site.

Thomson told Gulf News that "We did quality and technical assessments and found that Concorde met our high standards."

Concorde recently delivered a Dh30 million, two million-gallon-per-day pot-able water project on Abu Dhabi's Al Yasat island, said Awad.
