Spanish based international engineering consultant Savener has announced that it has been awarded a contract to undertake the engineering design of a new desalination plant due to come up at Barka in South Al Batinah Governorate.
Savener, a global grouping of consultants with expertise ranging from aeronautics and water desalination to energy efficiency and civil architecture, says the contract was awarded by the partnership of GS Inima of Spain and Italian Fisia Italimpianti of Italy.
The latter partnership is the Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) contractor for the so-called Barka-V seawater reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant with a capacity of around 100,000 cubic metres per day (equivalent to 22 million imperial gallons per day MIGD).
GS Inima is a wholly owned subsidiary of South Korean based global construction heavyweight GS Engineering & Construction (GS E&C), which was last year named as the winner of two Independent Water Projects (IWPs) tendered out by Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP), the sole procurer of new capacity under the Sector Law.
In addition to Barka V IWP, GS Inima is developing a 300,000 m3/day (66 MIGD) capacity desalination plant at Al Ghubrah in Muscat Governorate. Investments in both Barka V and Al Ghubrah III IWPs total around $400 million.
In a statement, Savener said its remit covers the engineering design of five reverse osmosis (RO) trains equipped with spiral wound members, dissolved air flotation (DAF) pretreatment systems, and other filtration equipment.
“This alliance will allow the Savener team and specialists and the GS Inima and Fisia Italimpianti technicians to work in a coordinated manner in all disciplines associated with the project, such as Civil Engineering, Electricity, Piping, Process, I&C, Mechanics or 3D Modeling, guaranteeing the usual levels of demand and quality of Savener projects,” the Spanish consultancy firm said..
“With this project Savener consolidates its knowledge and experience in the water sector, specifically in desalination systems, and reinforces its presence as a strategic and technological partner of large engineering projects in the international arena,” it stated.
