Metito, the leading provider of total intelligent water management solutions in emerging markets, has won a contract worth QR 10 million with Ashghal Qatar to design, construct and develop trailer mounted mobile sludge dewatering units for Ashghal’s sewage treatment plants in Qatar. This will allow for additional treatment capacity for plants with existing sludge dewatering units and provide sludge dewatering facility to plants with no dewatering units.
The plant will adopt advanced technology that treats sludge and at the same time preserve the environment. Phase 1 of the project will be operational by 2012, with the other phases expected to be completed by 2014.
Walid Oraby, General Manager of Metito Qatar and Bahrain said; “We are honoured to partner with Ashghal. This project among others, cement our dedication to play an effective role in developing Qatar directly through our core businesses and our efforts to align that with preserving the environments we work in’’.
Metito’s sustainability efforts extend to other developmental areas such as participating with Qatar National Day Organisation in a documentary showcasing the efforts made to protect the environment. Metito was nominated by the United Development Company (UDC) to take part in this film which will be aired in celebration of Qatar National Day. The film shows scenes from Metito’s waste water treatment plant on Pearl Qatar Island and features 22 young ambitious Qatari students who aspire to be prominent international scientists serving their country and the world and pays homage to the great men and women who have achieved great milestones building the nation.
Along with the designing, constructing and regular maintenance of the plant, Metito will also be developing an employee induction programme, following the handover of the plant. This programme is a sustainable effort to help ensure employees are well equipped to run and manage the plant efficiently.
