Douglas OHI begins work on Ghubrah 3 Desalination Plant
The firm has a proven track record of excellence spearheading numerous major initiatives across a variety of sectors
Douglas OHI has begun the construction of temporary office facilities and essential utility infrastructure for the Ghubrah 3 Desalination Plant in Oman. The groundbreaking is said to signal the commencement of construction activities, and marks a significant milestone in the journey toward realising the project, which – once complete – will be the largest desalination plant in Oman,
Set to serve as a lifeline for 2.5m inhabitants of the capital Muscat, the Ghubrah 3 Desalination Plant, designed and built by Spanish group GS Inima, is billed as a vital infrastructure project.
With a normal capacity of 300,000cu/m per day and the ability to ramp up to 315,000cu/m per day during peak demand periods, its significance in meeting the region’s water needs cannot be overstated, said the company in a statement.
Group Managing Director Aaron Hennessy highlighted the group’s extensive experience in successfully delivering projects within the power and water sectors. He underscored the company’s fruitful collaboration with GS Inima, the EPC contractor, and expressed confidence in their ability to uphold standards of excellence.
“Our team is fully committed to ensuring the successful execution of this project,” remarked Hennessy.
Michael Hall, General Manager at Douglas OHI concluded, “This endeavour epitomises the essence of Douglas OHI’s work.”
