• Client: Kaizen/Jeddah Development and Urban Regeneration Company (JDURC)
• Location: Jeddah, KSA
• Project type:  Sewage Treatment Plant
• Contract type: Project Development study for sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment

Project Information:

The cornerstone of this groundbreaking project lies in the cutting-edge design and implementation of an advanced Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) employing state-of-the-art MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) technology across four robust MBR trains. With a capacity of 12,700m3/day, this plant stands as a testament to innovation in environmental sustainability and resource management. Notably, the treated effluent isn't merely relegated; it serves a multifaceted purpose. It's intelligently repurposed for irrigation needs, ensuring an eco-conscious approach to water utilization.

The ingenuity doesn't stop there. The treated sewage effluent (TSE) undergoes further refinement through reverse osmosis technology in a dedicated polishing plant. This refined water serves the awe-inspiring 'dancing' fountain, elevating it to an iconic status. A specialized filtration unit bolsters the recycled water used for the fountain, ensuring the highest quality standards are met.

Scope of Work:

MIMC, as the recipient of the engineering consultancy services, took on a pivotal role in this transformative initiative. Their scope encompassed a comprehensive array of responsibilities spanning engineering consultancy services, water management, energy optimization, and community service management. Their involvement extended beyond mere project development; it encapsulated a strategic study aimed at crafting sustainable solutions intricately woven into the fabric of the Heart of Jeddah Master Plan.
