VA TECH WABAG (‘WABAG’) has secured a repeat order worth about 5.12 Million Bahraini Dinars (approx. INR 118 Crores) from the Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning (‘MoW’), Kingdom of Bahrain. The contract is for the Operation and Maintenance (‘O&M’) of the 40 MLD Madinat Salman Sewage Treatment Plant (‘STP’) and the Long Sea Outfall, for a period of 5 years.
WABAG was earlier awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (‘EPC’) contract for the 40 MLD STP and Long Sea Outfall in October 2015 by the Ministry of Housing, Kingdom of Bahrain. The project was successfully commissioned in 2018, following which WABAG has been operating and maintaining the plant since November 1, 2018.
The STP incorporates advanced tertiary treatment and sludge management through aerobic digestion and thermal drying. The facility also houses an automatic bagging unit that enables packaging of EPA Class A sludge for commercial use. Treated water from the plant is reused to meet the irrigation requirements of 13 islands, supporting sustainability and resource efficiency.
Mr. V. Srinivasan K, GM-MENA RHQ, commented:
“We are delighted to secure this prestigious repeat O&M order from the Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning. This award not only strengthens our O&M order book but also enhances annuity income, improves cash flows, and ensures revenue predictability. It is a testament to the Ministry’s continued trust in WABAG’s operational excellence and consistent performance, for which we are truly grateful. We remain fully committed to delivering best-in-class services and ensuring optimal plant performance to serve the community with safe and reliable water.”
