Shuaiba Power and Water Plant

The Shuaiba Power and Water Plant is a critical infrastructure project located in Saudi Arabia's Western Region, designed to meet the growing demand for electricity and potable water. Mohammed Eid Al-Dossary was contracted to execute the full construction of this integrated facility in collaboration with NOMAC and DOOSAN. The plant combines cutting-edge power generation with advanced water desalination technologies.

Key Achievements

  • Constructed a combined cycle power plant with 1,200 MW generation capacity
  • Built desalination facilities producing 150,000 cubic meters of water daily
  • Installed 4 gas turbines and 2 steam turbines with associated generators
  • Completed 18 km of high-pressure pipeline networks for water distribution
  • Implemented advanced water treatment systems meeting international standards
  • Achieved 1.5 million safe man-hours with zero lost-time incidents

Technologies Used

The project utilized state-of-the-art power generation and water treatment technologies including reverse osmosis membranes, combined cycle gas turbines, and advanced distributed control systems. BIM was extensively used for coordination between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Specialized corrosion-resistant materials were employed for seawater intake systems, and energy recovery devices were installed to maximize efficiency.

Project Impact

The Shuaiba Power and Water Plant significantly contributes to Saudi Arabia's energy and water security, providing reliable utilities to industrial and residential consumers in the Western Region. The facility supports economic development while incorporating environmental considerations through efficient resource use and emissions control. It represents a key achievement in the Kingdom's infrastructure development under Vision 2030.
