The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC), the developer behind one of the world’s most ambitious tourism initiatives, has awarded a solid waste management contract to a joint venture between leading waste management company Averda and the Saudi Naval Support Company (SNS).

The partnership involves collecting and recycling waste generated by administration offices, residential facilities, and construction activities, meeting the high environmental standards set for the project and with the goal of ‘zero waste to landfill’, said  TRSDC.

The Red Sea Project site is being developed from the ground up, with no pre-existing infrastructure in place. The award of this contract represents another positive step forward in the development of enabling infrastructure that supports the delivery of the first and second phases of construction, CEO John Pagano said.

The scope of work comprises sewage collection services which includes transportation of the sewage via tanker trucks to a treatment plant in Yanbu until the construction and commissioning of the temporary sewage treatment plant (STP) for the project gets completed.

Recycling and reusing waste underpin this contract approach as it will support the company in designing, building, and operating municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition waste (CDW) plants.

The recyclable material that is recovered from both the MSW and CDW stream is then transferred for further processing or used as fill material on the project, said TRSDC.

Similarly, a composting unit is then utilised for turning organic-rich waste into compost to be used for the project’s landscaped areas and in the site nursery. Equally important, incinerators are used for processing any non-recyclable waste, and the ash generated is mixed with cement for the production of bricks, it added.
