Kuwait sanitary masterplan

Atkins Kuwait, in partnership with local company SSH, has signed a major sanitary masterplan contract with the Kuwait Ministry of Public Works.

The official signing ceremony was attended by the Deputy Prime Minister Shaikh Ahmed Al Fahed, Minister for Public Works Dr Fadel Safar and Atkins Kuwait GM in Kuwait Bryan Willey.

Atkins project director Graham Warder commended the Ministry for its holistic approach. “Kuwait is a great example of a state actively improving its infrastructure network. We are delighted that the municipality recognises our partnership approach and our ability to deliver technically demanding projects.”

The masterplan will develop a national strategy for the upgrade of the current sanitation system for Kuwait, covering 17 818 km². Delivery of the study and proposals is due in December 2011.

It will become a key strategy document for future growth and development. “Atkins and SSH are well-placed to assist the Ministry in resolving their local issues in water supply, environment and sanitation issues,” concludes Warder.
