Announcing the ground breaking, Douglas OHI said the commencement of construction activities marks a significant milestone in the journey toward realizing the Ghubrah 3 Desalination Plant, the largest desalination plant in Oman, thus reaffirming its commitment to delivering sustainable infrastructure solutions of the highest calibre.
Set to serve as a lifeline for 2.5 million inhabitants of capital Muscat, the Ghubrah 3 Desalination Plant, designed and built by Spanish group GS Inima, is a vital infrastructure project.

He underscored the company's fruitful collaboration with GS Inima, the EPC contractor, and expressed confidence in their ability to uphold standards of excellence. "Our team is fully committed to ensuring the successful execution of this project," he stated.
