The Board of Directors of the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT), Kuwait has approved the award of Tender No. MEW 16/2024/2025 for the development of the Doha Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) Desalination Plant with Re-carbonation System (Stage-2) to the Joint Venture between VA TECH WABAG Ltd. and Heavy Engineering Industries & Shipbuilding Co. (HEISCO).

The contract, awarded on behalf of the Ministry of Electricity & Water & Renewable Energy, is valued at KD 114,280,000, with a total project duration of 96 months, which includes supply, erection, and operation & maintenance (O&M) services.

This award follows the earlier announcement in which the VA TECH WABAG – HEISCO Joint Venture had emerged as the lowest bidder for the project, submitting a competitive bid. The project marks a significant milestone in Kuwait’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its water infrastructure and ensure sustainable potable water supply to meet growing demand.

The Doha SWRO Desalination Plant (Stage-2) will incorporate advanced reverse osmosis technology along with a re-carbonation system, enhancing water quality and operational efficiency. The project aligns with Kuwait’s broader strategy to adopt energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable desalination solutions.

The successful award further reinforces the strong track record and technical expertise of both VA TECH WABAG and HEISCO in executing large-scale water and infrastructure projects across the region.

Once completed, the project is expected to play a vital role in supporting Kuwait’s water security objectives and long-term development plans.
