Hyder Consulting is the Lead Consultant on the project and Eagle Electromechanical is Main Contractor. The contract, worth AED 60 million, will take just over 15 months to complete.

The STP is being built with the latest Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) technology, which produces high quality effluent with a lesser footprint, as compared to the other treatment processes. The main advantage of this process is the complete removal of suspended solids including bacteria. Further, the Plant is fully enclosed and incorporates odour control thus effectively neutralising any odours present or generated by the waste water works, creating zero nuisance to the surroundings.

Mr Robert Garner, Project Manager of Hyder Consulting Middle East Limited said: "We are thrilled to be part of the ambitious project and to use our knowledge and experience. We look forward to working with the Dubai Sports City team and are keen to start work as soon as possible. "

Upon signing the contract Khalid Al Zarooni, President of Dubai Sports City said:

"We are delighted to award this contract to Hyder Consulting. This is a strong international company with a track-record of over 150 years. Having worked on a number of prestigious developments both globally and in the Middle East we are confident they can achieve the quality and international standards we at Dubai Sports City uphold."


Given the vast area under development and the potential output of sewerage, Dubai Sports City has consciously dedicated this plant to the betterment of its own surroundings and the environment at large.

Emphasizing this, Khalid Al Zarooni continued: "This state-of-the art treatment plant will treat the waste water generated at the development and recycle the high quality effluent water for irrigation of the landscape for the entire development.

Establishing this plant will help us contribute to the City of Dubai environmentally which has always been our goal from the onset."
