RO123mn sewage and water works underway in Bausher
One of the largest initiatives under way is in Bausher, Muscat governorate, where seven sewage network projects are being implemented at a combined cost of RO123mn.
Jafar bin Mahna al Hadhrami, Project Manager for Muscat governorate at Nama Water Servic-es, said the works in Bausher inc- lude 311km of main and seconda- ry sewage network lines and 34km of potable water networks. 'The aim is to enhance basic services for residents while supporting long-term infrastructure plans.'
In Bausher Heights, a sewage network project costing RO17.5mn is under construction. Set for completion in 2028, it will serve 60,000 people and cover 68km of sewage networks with 1,100 inspection chambers and 6,850 house connections. Current completion rate is 10%.
A sewage network project in South Azaiba costing RO5.6mn is 12% complete. With 49km of networks, 1,714 inspection chambers and 722 house connections, it will benefit 13,000 people on completion by 2027.
Hadhrami said the first phase of rehabilitating sewage networks in North Ghubra and North Azaiba, costing RO24mn, will start in mid-September 2025. Completion is expected in 2028. The works will include a new 4km main sewage line, replacement of 812 inspection chambers, rehabilitation of the current main line, and linking networks to the pumping station.
To improve pumping capacity, a RO21mn station is being built for Bausher and Al Ansab. It will feature two 17km discharge lines and a 3.5km gravity sewer line to connect both networks. Completion is targeted for 2028.
In Al Ansab, a RO25.7mn sew-age network project is 8% comp-lete. It will include 75.5km of net- works, 1,160 inspection chambers and 4,180 household connectio-ns, with completion set for 2028.
Hadhrami said two projects are also under way in Al Khuwair. The Al Khuwair 1/17 project, cos-ting RO14.3mn, will provide 882 home connections, 30km of sew-age networks, 15km of potable water networks and 1km of trea-ted wastewater networks. The Al Khuwair 2/17 project, worth RO15mn, will provide 858 home connections, 30km of sewage networks, 19km of potable water networks and 2.2km of treated wastewater networks. Both are due for completion in 2029.

RO 123m invested in 7 water and sanitation projects in Bausher
MUSCAT: Nama Water Services is moving forward with its strategic projects to integrate essential services and enhance the infrastructure system across Oman's governorates and wilayats. These projects include the sanitation sector, which covers sewage networks, treatment plants and pumping stations, as well as treated water networks. Among the most prominent projects currently being implemented in Muscat Governorate are a package of seven sanitation network projects in the Wilayat of Bausher, with a total cost of RO 123 million. Eng Jaafer bin Muhanna al Hadrami, Project Manager for the Second Unit in Muscat Governorate, explained that the ongoing projects in Bausher include main and sub-lines for sanitation networks, totalling 311 kilometres in length. This also includes a 34-kilometre potable water network and other project components and annexes. In a statement to ONA, he said that the construction of a sanitation network in Bausher Heights is currently underway at a cost of RO 17.5 million. The project, which will benefit 60,000 people, is expected to be completed in 2028 after a four-year implementation period. It includes 68 kilometres of sanitation networks, 1,100 inspection chambers, and 6,850 household connections. He noted that the project is currently 10 per cent complete. He added that a sanitation network construction project is also being implemented in South Al Athaiba at a cost of RO 5.6 million. This project will benefit 13,000 people and is expected to be completed in 2027 over a three-year period. It involves 49 kilometres of sanitation networks, 1,714 inspection chambers, and 722 household connections, with a completion rate of 12 per cent. Eng Jaafer al Hadrami confirmed that work continues on the first phase of the sanitation network rehabilitation project in North Al Ghubra and North Al Athaiba, with a cost of RO 24 million. The project was awarded at the end of June and is expected to begin implementation after mid-September 2025. With a four-year timeline, it is set to be completed in 2028. The project involves a four-kilometre main sanitation line, the replacement of 812 inspection chambers, and the rehabilitation of the existing four-kilometre main line that connects the sanitation networks of North Al Ghubra and Al Athaiba to the pumping station, as well as the replacement of 80 deep inspection chambers. He said that to enhance pumping operations for the ongoing projects, Nama Water Services is currently implementing a pumping station project in Bausher and Al Ansab at a cost of RO 21 million. Expected to be completed in 2028 over a four-year period, the project includes a pumping station with two 17-kilometre force mains and a 3.5-kilometre gravity-fed sanitation line to collect from the Al Ansab and Bausher networks. The Project Manager for the Second Unit at Nama Water Services in Muscat added that the company is continuing to implement the sanitation network project in Al Ansab, which is 8 per cent complete. It includes 4,180 household connections and is expected to be completed in 2028 over a four-year period. The project comprises 75.5 kilometres of sanitation networks and 1,160 inspection chambers, with an implementation cost of RO 25.7 million. In the Al Khuwair area of the Wilayat of Bausher, Eng Jaafer bin Muhanna al Hadrami mentioned that two projects are being implemented: Al Khuwair Project 1/17, at a cost of RO 14.3 million. It will include 882 household connections and is expected to be completed in 2029 over a five-year period. The project involves 30 kilometres of sanitation networks, a 15-kilometre potable water network, and a one-kilometre treated water network. The second project, he added, is Al Khuwair Project 2/17, costing RO 15 million. It will include 858 household connections and is also expected to be completed in 2029 over a five-year period. This project features 30 kilometres of sanitation networks, a 19-kilometre potable water network and a 2.2-kilometre treated water network. — ONA
