<div>Nesma Water &amp; Energy (NW&amp;E) has announced it has been awarded a contract by National Water Company (NWC) to undertake a six-month rush project to enhance the water supply to the Riyadh area.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The 510 million Saudi Riyal project is for the Design, Engineering &amp; Construction (EPC) and commissioning of a water supply system to provide Riyadh with an additional 250,000 m3 per day before March 2013. NW&amp;E will need to drill 13 wells and construct the associated water treatment plants. It will also supply glass-lined steel tanks for the storage and distribution of potable water in 12 different locations within the Riyadh metropolitan area.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>What makes this project extremely challenging is the short time frame of execution, the depths of the wells required to reach Al Manjour aquifer some 2,000 m below sea level and the strategic national importance of the project.</div>
