KUWAIT CITY: Kuwait has approved a contract worth 999.85 million Kuwaiti dinars (USD3.3 billion) with a Chinese state-owned company to build the country’s largest sewage treatment plant, the official gazette reported on Sunday.
The Central Agency for Public Tenders approved moving ahead with a “direct contract” between the Ministry of Public Works and China State Construction Engineering Corp to build the North Kabd sewage plant.
The project is part of a broader set of China-backed developments in Kuwait, including the USD4 billion Mubarak Al-Kabeer port project signed in December with China Communications Construction Co.
The sewage facility will process up to 1 million cubic metres of waste water a day.
