The Saudi Water Authority (SWA) has awarded a $544 million engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to a consortium of Madrid-headquartered Lantania and local firm Mutlaq Al-Ghowairi Contracting Company for a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.
The plant will have a capacity of 600,000 cubic metres a day. The contract covers design, supply, construction, assembly and commissioning of the plant, plus the seawater intake, outfall and associated infrastructure. It is Lantania’s third desalination project in the kingdom, following its earlier involvement in the Jubail 3A desalination project and, alongside L&T, the Ras Mohaisen Independent Water Project.
