Parsons has been awarded a $1.7 billion contract to construct two deep wastewater tunnels and link sewers for the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The company will perform feasibility studies, preliminary design, tender preparation, program management of the construction phases and supervision of the pumping station construction, Parsons said Tuesday.
The tunnels will span more than 43.5 miles together and the link sewers and pumping stations will have a combined length of 86.99 miles as part of Dubai’s strategic 50-year master plan.
Dubai intends for the construction projects to centralize the city’s pump stations that transfer wastewater to treatment plants in Al Warsan and Jabal Ali.
“This project is significant to Dubai Municipality and its role in the development of Dubai as a global city,†said Mike Walsh, a Parsons group president.
