METITO
(Overseas) Limited has completed work on a Dhs 24
million contract to supply state of the art water
treatment and sewage treatment works as part of
an infrastructure contract package to serve over
1300 homes in the Ruwais Housing Complex in Abu
Dhabi Emirate.
The project has been finally commissioned and handed
over by METITO through Al Muhairy General Contracting
Co. to ADNOC who is responsible for the overall
new expansion project that is creating 1300 new
homes in Ruwais. Workers employed at ADNOC’s
Ruwais Refinery Complex will be housed in the new
homes.
METITO, which has its headquarters for Europe, Asia
and Africa in Sharjah, completed the two-year contract
on schedule after commencing work in July 1999.
Scope of work for the company on the project included
the design and building of the mechanical and electrical
components of the sewage treatment plant, pumping
stations and a SCADA monitoring system for the plant.
The project is the latest in a series of major infrastructure
projects that METITO has undertaken in Abu Dhabi
Emirate on behalf of Government and Industrial sectors.
In Ruwais, the main contractor on the project was
Al Muhairy General Contracting Co. and the consultant
was DMGM.
METITO (Abu Dhabi) LLC, Branch Manager, Mr Omar
Al Zoubi, said: “ We have been very proud
to once again use our infrastructure expertise in
both water treatment and waste water systems to
help a major development in Abu Dhabi Emirate.
In a desert environment such as Ruwais, we were
also determined to ensure that the systems we introduced
were environmentally-friendly and that the sewage
treatment works were designed to ensure that treated
effluent could be used for irrigation purposes in
and around the housing complex.” |

The
sewage treatment works installed can handle up to
5000 square metres of effluent every day to cater
for the estimated population of 5200 people. A main
lift station with four pumps has also been established
to collect sewage generated from the new township
and pump it along a 400 metre pipeline to be biologically
treated to a quality where treated water can be
used for irrigation purposes.
The METITO has also introduced a water treatment
system where potable water is fed into a 4 km network
of pipes to supply the 1300 homes. Water is treated
using a chlorination system and stored in two giant
underground storage tanks each having a capacity
of 2.6 million gallons of fresh water.
The final element of the project was creating a
SCADA system – a special software package
that can be used for monitoring the operation of
the Sewage Treatment Plant, Water Treatment Plant
and Main Lift Station at Ruwais. The SCADA system
monitors the entire plant and ensures that the status
of the systems is regularly communicated to both
the Main Monitoring Station for the housing complex
and the Ruwais Refinery.
METITO is the leading international company for
the provision of wastewater treatment, desalination
and water supply projects. In the UAE it operates
its European, Asian and African operations from
its regional headquarters in Sharjah and has a factory
and laboratory facility in the Hamriya Free Zone.
METITO is an international company that was founded
in 1958 by Mr Farouk Ghandour, its present Chairman,
and has project management capabilities to undertake
similar and much larger projects worldwide.
