Veolia Water (France) has been selected to run the Operations and Maintenance part of the Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination plant of the F2 Independent Water and Power Project (F2 IWPP) in Qidfa, Fujairah in the UAE.
The plant will produce 136,500m3/day of desalinated water. The contract, worth an estimated cumulated amount of 115 million USD (€ 78 million), has been awarded by Fujairah F2 O&M Company Ltd, which has been set up by International Power Plc and Marubeni Corp.
This new contract is a clear indication of the trust that Veolia
Water has built through the previously awarded contract in August 2007 by the F2 IWPP Project Company for the construction of the two new desalination plants (RO and MED) for the value of €596 million ($805 million).
The desalination plants are part of the Independent Water & Power Project (known as F2 IWPP) which will also include a 2000MW power plant. The project is headed by a consortium set up by the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) in collaboration with International Power Plc and Marubeni Corp which will operate and maintain all the facilities.
