Haya Water's sea outfall project on track

MUSCAT, August 30, 2016

Spanish-based general contractor Technicas Reunidas said its joint venture with Oman's Sarooj Construction Company has completed around 85 per cent of the work related to Haya Water’s two sea outfall projects - Darsait and Al Athaiba  sewage treatment plants (STP) - in the sultanate.

The project is aimed at ensuring that the discharges cause no environmental damages of the coastal region and that the outfalls provide a future-proof solution and help avoid an adverse impact on beaches and desalination plants that are nearby, reported the Oman Observer.

The JV firm had successfully completed the construction of Al Seeb outfall last year, it stated.

Before the construction began, Haya Water had obtained 23 approvals from different authorities to execute the project, said the report.

In 2010, Haya water appointed Halcrow to carry out feasibility studies and develop designs for emergency marine outfalls at two prime locations, from Darsait STP, the third largest treatment plant in Muscat, and from Al Athaiba Central Pumping Station (CPS) which pumps all the collected sewage from Bausher catchment to Al Ansab STP.

The Darsait sewage treatment building coincides with the establishing of the two outfalls in Darsait and Al Athaiba, it stated.

This project is considered to be of significant importance as it discharges surplus treated effluent. Both projects will greatly help to discharge mixed raw sewage and storm water during storms and cyclones, it added.
