Va Tech Wabag wins another order in West African region

Va Tech Wabag has secured a design, build, operate order for the 50 MLD (expandable to 100 MLD) Mamelles Sea Water Desalination Project from Societe Nationale Des Eaux du Senegal (SONES), the national water company of Senegal worth about Euro 146 million.

The scope of WABAG under this order will be Engineering & Procurement (EP) and Operation & Maintenance (O&M), which is worth about one-third of the consortium order value. WABAG's EP scope includes Design, Engineering and Supply of Electromechanical equipment, supervision of Installation and Commissioning followed by a 2 year O&M of the plant. The location of the plant is in the main corniche of Dakar city on a high hill top, with sea water intake from the Atlantic Ocean. The plant will be based on SWRO technology with very advanced compact systems, considering the availability of land and challenging terrain.

The project is to be executed by WABAG in consortium with Toyota Tsusho Corporation (Toyota'), Japan and Eiffage Genie Civil, France (Eiffage). WABAG will play the role of the Technology & System integrator, while Eiffage will be responsible for the construction work and Toyota will co-manage the project.

This breakthrough order in the West African region, marks the entry of WABAGG into a new geography, Senegal. VWABAG is already executing 50 MLD (expandable to 100 MLD) Desalination project in Tunisia, North Africa being funded by KfW Germany. This order further consolidates WABAG's business in the African continent.
