The water and effluent treatment (WET) business joint venture of L&T and Lantania signed the contract with ACWA Power, a leading developer in the Middle East, to construct the Ras Mohaisen Desalination plant in Saudi Arabia.

The plant will have a capacity of 300,000 cubic meters per day. The scope of the project includes the design, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning of a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant.

Additionally, the project will involve intake and outfall facilities, process units, pumping stations, a 600,000 cubic meter potable water storage facility, electrical systems, and associated works, including automation and instrumentation systems. A solar photovoltaic (PV) plant will also be part of the project.

This desalination plant will provide drinking water to the Makkah Al-Mukarramah and Al-Baha regions, benefiting a population of around one million.

L&T stated that this is the second desalination project it has recently secured in Saudi Arabia.
