VA Tech Wabag Named Preferred EPC Partner for Saudi Arabia’s Hadda ISTP Project

VA Tech Wabag (WABAG) has announced a major development in its Middle East operations. 

A developer consortium comprising Metito Utilities Limited, Etihad Water and Electricity Company PJSC, and SkyBridge Limited Company has been declared the Preferred Bidder by the Saudi Water Partnership Company (SWPC) for the Hadda Independent Sewage Treatment Plant (ISTP) Project in Saudi Arabia. 

Under this development, WABAG has been named the preferred Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) partner for the project.

Project Structure and Development Model

The Hadda ISTP Project will be developed under a 25-year Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) model by the developer consortium. This long-term concession structure allows the consortium to design, build and operate the facility before transferring it to the authorities at the end of the concession period. The project forms part of Saudi Arabia’s broader strategy to strengthen wastewater treatment infrastructure and support sustainable water management.

Scope of Work for WABAG

As the preferred EPC partner, WABAG’s proposed scope of work includes the complete design, engineering, procurement and construction of the treatment facilities. The project will feature a sewage treatment plant with an initial treatment capacity of 100,000 cubic metres per day, which can be expanded to 250,000 cubic metres per day in the future.

In addition, the EPC scope includes an advanced treated sewage effluent reuse system, a large storage tank and a 38-kilometre transmission pipeline. The pipeline is designed with a throughput capacity of 350,000 cubic metres per day, enabling efficient distribution of treated water.

Strategic Importance of the Project

The Hadda ISTP Project is a significant addition to Saudi Arabia’s water infrastructure and aligns with the Kingdom’s focus on sustainability, water reuse and urban development. For WABAG, the project further strengthens its footprint in the Middle East and reinforces its position as a trusted partner for large-scale water and wastewater projects.

Next Steps and Timeline

The commencement date of the project will be announced after the execution of the concession agreements and completion of financial closure by the developer consortium. WABAG has stated that further updates and developments will be shared in due course.

Commenting on this development, Mr. Rohan Mittal, Head – Strategy and Business Growth – GCC, said, “Being associated with a project of such strategic importance is both an honour and a responsibility we take very seriously. This selection reinforces our strong presence in the Middle East and our growing partnerships in Saudi Arabia.” 

He further added, “We sincerely thank the Developer Consortium and SWPC for the confidence placed in us and look forward to collaborating closely to deliver this landmark infrastructure to the highest standards of performance and reliability.”
