The company is pressing ahead with the projects to deal with soaring effluent flows in Abu Dhabi and Al-Ain. They include a deep tunnel system in Abu Dhabi and new sewage treatment plants to be built by joint ventures in Abu Dhabi and in Al-Ain under build-own-operate concessions.
'We are in the final stages of appointing a programme manager for the tunnel and this should happen in January 2008 at the latest,' Thomson said. 'The new sewage treatment plants will be completed in 2010.'
The ADSSC is a government entity set up in 2005 to own and run Abu Dhabi's sewerage systems. Thomson said that it is treating more than 500,000 cubic metres a day of effluent in its two existing main sewage treatment plans in Abu Dhabi and Al-Ain.
Following the completion of a sewage masterplan early this year, the ADSSC decided to develop a deep tunnel sewage system that would replace some of the existing systems pumping stations.
