Published: 10-Mar-2010

US-based Jacobs Engineering Group has received a contract from Marafiq, to serve as project management contractor (PMC) for Marafiq's ongoing investment program in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Under this contract, Jacobs will provide PMC services for a number of projects in Jubail and Yanbu industrial cities, under a framework that is in effect for three years, extendable for a further three. Work includes conceptual design, front-end engineering, design and construction monitoring, and other services necessary for successful installations.

Projects involve expansions, upgrades, and installations of wastewater treatment plants, electrical power generation facilities, and a seawater reverse osmosis plant. Jacobs is performing the work from its Reading, England, office with support from its personnel in Mumbai, India. The contract value is yet to be disclosed.

A multidisciplinary Jacobs team will also work with Marafiq staff in Al Jubail and Yanbu to develop master plans and conceptual studies with support from the Reading office.

Marafiq, a privately owned power and utility company, initiated an additional $1.33 billion water and power project in 2004 to help meet the growing demand for power and water in Saudi Arabia.
