The project was tendered by the Construction Authority for Potable Water and Wastewater (CAPW) and will be financed by the Government of Egypt. The two companies will feed the 1.6 million m³/day 6th October City water treatment plant with raw water using an intake and booster station with 12 pumps of 1.5 MW capacity each. The piping spans 118.5 km of steel between El Badrashain and Dahshour and also includes underground water tanks and ancillary buildings.
Work on the 6th October City water treatment plant project will begin at the end of the year and is estimated to take 36 months.
