PS70 pumping station is the largest such facility in the Middle East with a pumping capacity of 680,000m³ per day, which can be extended to 900,000 m³ per day. PS70 is designed to raise waste water in the northern sector of Doha, the capital of Qatar, from a depth of 40m, and channel it to a treatment plant located 25km away through a triple rising ductile iron main (1,600mm diameter).

This turn-key project worth approximately €360 million has been executed for the Government of Qatar as one of the country’s major infrastructure projects.
