Stantec to lead Egypt wastewater programme
01 July 2020
Stantec, a leading international professional services company in the design and consulting sector, said a consortium led by the company has won a contract from Egyptian Holding Company for Water and Wastewater (HCWW) to help improve access to sanitation services through wastewater infrastructure for communities in the country’s Fayoum governorate.
As per the deal, Stantec will act as the project implementation support and contract supervision consultant to manage the large-scale construction programme for the expansion of wastewater treatment, water reuse capabilities and the system sewerage network.
The Fayoum Wastewater Expansion programme, worth €456.5 million ($508 million), is being financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and co-financed by the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Union’s Neighbourhood Investment Facility, and the Egyptian government.
The governorate of Fayoum is in a rural, developing region about 90 km southwest of Cairo. In lesser populated areas of the region, coverage of sanitation services is low, and more than half of the communities are not connected to a centralized wastewater network, said Stantec.
As per the deal, Stantec will be responsible for design services related to network infrastructure and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), procurement support, project implementation support, development of a training plan, capacity building, contract management, and construction supervision services.
Phase One of the programme will see expansion of sewer services in 119 underserved rural areas in Fayoum. This phase includes construction of four new WWTPs, expansion of seven, rehabilitation of 10, and decommissioning of six existing ones. It will also include building of 256 km of new pressurised rising mains, 2,334 km of sewer lines and 100 new sewage pumping stations. These measures will increase access to sanitation to 75.6 per cent and benefit 700,000 people.
