A large-scale seawater treatment and supply project for ADNOC in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This project, which is developed alongside partners including ADNOC and TAQA under a 30-year BOOT scheme, underscores Orascom Construction’s position as a developer and EPC player in the water sector in the region.

The project comprises a seawater nanofiltration plant with a capacity of 522,000 m³/day, a large transfer pump station, 70 km of water transmission pipelines with two delivery points, and an in-field distribution network of 230 km. This project is advancing sustainable water management and reduces energy consumption for water injection at the Bab and Bu Hasa fields by up to 30%.

The project will be connected to the grid and will receive 100% of its power from clean energy sources. More than 60% of the project value during the development and operation phases will flow back into the UAE’s economy, further stimulating economic and industrial growth and creating commercial opportunities for the private sector, in line with the UAE leadership’s directives.

As part of the consortium’s commitment to sustainability and environmental standards, the project will implement a construction waste management plan to follow international and local standards and requirements and work toward reducing ADNOC’s environmental footprint.

Orascom Construction has a 16.3% equity stake in the project as consortium leader and is also consortium leader for the EPC scope.
