# Kuwait awards $3.3 bln sewage plant contract to Chinese group

> Kuwait has awarded a $3.3 billion contract to China State Construction Engineering Corp to build the North Kabd sewage treatment plant, the largest in the country. The project, approved by the Central Agency for Public Tenders, is part of broader China-backed developments in Kuwait, including a $4 billion port project. The plant will process up to 1 million cubic meters of wastewater daily and will be designed, built, operated, and maintained by the Chinese company over a 10-year period. Kuwait faces challenges in reusing treated wastewater due to infrastructure limitations.

Kuwait has approved a contract worth 999.85 million Kuwaiti dinars ($3.3 billion) with a Chinese state-owned company to build the country’s largest sewage treatment plant, the official gazette reported on Sunday.

The Central Agency for Public Tenders approved moving ahead with a “direct contract” between the Ministry of Public Works and China State Construction Engineering Corp to build the North Kabd sewage plant.

The project is part of a broader set of China-backed developments in Kuwait, including the $4 billion Mubarak Al-Kabeer port project signed in December with China Communications Construction Co .

The sewage facility will process up to 1 million cubic metres of waste water a day. The Chinese company will design, build, operate and maintain the plant over a 10-year period.

Oil-rich Kuwait struggles to reuse treated wastewater, much of which is discharged into the sea due to limited storage capacity and infrastructure problems. Quality constraints confine reuse to irrigation only.

($1 = 0.3052 Kuwaiti dinars)
