Dubai Electricity and Water Authority and Metito sign $10.4m deal

The operation will include the supply and installation of high purity water treatment plants, tanks and electrical works.

Government, developers and the business sector will benefit from the development of the turnkey supply and installation of the mixed bed demineralization plant that will process 2 x 90 m3/hr of high purity water. The project has been pegged at $10.4m.

"The growth of Dubai is rooted in water," said Mr. Mahmoud Kabeel, plant sales manager, Dubai, Northern Emirates and Oman. "With this augmentation and construction, DEWA and Metito are facilitating the use of the power needed for added growth in the Jebel Ali area. Metito is honoured to be awarded the contract from DEWA."

Metito, founded in 1958, is a shining example of a Middle Eastern company that has grown to be a world leader in its field.

Metito operates locally in 14 countries in the MENA region, and supplies its plants internationally to locations as far apart as Argentina and Australia from its base in the United Arab Emirates.

Some of the company's recent notable achievements in the UAE include wastewater treatment plants for the Dubai Investments Park and Palm Jumeirah, as well as different projects in Abu Dhabi for ADSSC and ADWEA.
