A project for the construction and rehabilitation of the Mina Abdullah water pumping plant is planned to more than double Kuwait’s fresh water supply.
When finish, the plant will pump around 1.5 million m3 of water per day from two desalination plants and will support the needs of urban developments and planned metropolitan areas.
Power and automation technology group ABB has won a US $148 million contract related to Engineering, supply and testing of the new plan. The work is expected to be completed by 2013 under its contract with the Ministry of Electricity and Water in Kuwait.
“The Mina Abdullah water plant is an integral part of Kuwait’s infrastructure development efforts and will help serve the growing water needs of the region,” stressed Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division.
