Breaking news for the Middle East infrastructure market: The general contracting project for the core livelihood lifeline in Iraq has completed the bidding process. China Power Construction stood out from the competition of many global engineering companies and won a large contract worth 17.2 billion yuan. The project covers water supply, sewage treatment, and supporting power transformation, and will completely improve the livelihood difficulties caused by years of backward infrastructure in the local area.

Core positioning of the project

The project has been officially recognized by the Iraqi government as the lifeline of urban livelihood, and the aging of the local old pipeline network, disorderly discharge of sewage, and shortage of water and power supply have long plagued the public. The project will replace the aging water supply network on a large scale, build a new water purification plant area, simultaneously build multiple large-scale sewage treatment plants, improve the urban and rural sewage collection system, and build supporting power transformation facilities to ensure the stable operation of the water treatment system, covering the daily water and sewage needs of millions of residents. It is the core project to improve the local people's livelihood.

Multiple Value of the Project

The billion dollar overseas general contracting project will drive the export of complete sets of domestic products such as pipes, water treatment equipment, and engineering machinery, release a large number of design, construction, and operation positions, and expand the overseas sales channels of the domestic infrastructure industry chain. At the same time, the implementation of the project further consolidates the reputation of China's infrastructure in the Middle East market, relying on a complete integrated construction and operation plan, accumulating advantages for the subsequent development of similar livelihood infrastructure projects in the Middle East, and enhancing the regional influence of domestic engineering brands.  

High gold content of the project

Overseas engineering construction faces multiple challenges such as high temperature climate, long-distance material transportation, local labor coordination, and differentiated environmental standards. This project covers the entire process of design, construction, long-term operation and maintenance, and has strict requirements for the comprehensive service capabilities of enterprises.
