Jumeirah Golf Estates sewage plant deal

Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Nakheel has announced the successful restructuring of a contract with Suez Environnement - Degremont and Besix, to design, build and operate a sewage treatment plant (STP) at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

The agreement provides for the re-engineering and re-programming of the project to better suit the revised population needs in Dubai.

The firms have jointly agreed to cooperate on a 30-year long-term partnership basis for the development of 50% of the present capacity of the 220,000 m3 per day plant.

“Nakheel is committed to working with the best partners to deliver long term, sustainable results across our portfolio of projects,” said Abdulrahman Kalantar, managing director, Nakheel Asset Management & Design.

“The restructured agreement for the state-of-the-art STP at Jumeirah Golf Estates will consolidate the long term cooperation and commitment of all the partners on this project and ensure we match supply and demand in the most effective way.

Nakheel said a temporary STP is due to be commissioned in the coming weeks to deal with early flows and that the critical networks have been completed and the engineering of the first two phases of the permanent STP are underway.

The plant utilises Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology to produce high quality effluent, which will be used for landscape irrigation and make up water for district cooling, the company said.

Jumeirah Golf Estates will include four golf courses surrounded by master-planned neighbourhoods. The four estates are named Fire, Earth, Wind and Water.
