Metito inks contract with Palm Water for the construction of a sewage treatment plant at the International City

The plant with a capacity of 5,000 cubic meters per day is set for delivery in early Q2 of 2007.

The contract has been signed with Palm Water, to provide waste water management services for Nakheel's prestigeous and well-known International City development. The temporary sewage treatment plant is designed by Metito with the provision to be moved and transported to any other location, where it may be deemed necessary. The plant will consist of three streams to treat the raw sewage using extended aeration activated sludge process. This will serve the growing population of International City, which is increasing at a rapid rate.

Commenting on the occasion, Fady Juez, Managing Director of Metito said: "We are glad to be awarded the contract for The International City WWTP. Nakheel projects tend to be unique and ground breaking in the industry which in turn presents a challenge in providing high quality utility services for such large scale developments on a fast-track basis."

Metito will also ensure that the sewage treatment plant's design & operation complies with the stringent standards issued by PCFC Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA) and Dubai Municipality.

Robert Bryniak, CEO of Palm Water said, "We are glad to have partnered with Metito, the water treatment specialist in the UAE, to meet our project requirements and are confident that Metito's decades of experience in waste water treatment will provide trouble-free and cost efficient solutions for these type of plants. We 're also confident that Metito will deliver the temporary plant on a timely basis and look forward to working with them on other high profile developments in the Middle East."
