Seawater desalination
160,000 m³/dayTreating seawater for water supply
Cox lists a Ras El Hekma seawater reverse-osmosis project in two investment-plan tables. Both show the same capacity and the same NTP year. The second report is another record of the plan, not another plant.
Still needs confirmationThese reports do not establish a Modon contract award to Cox, a working plant, a verified plant site or water supply to a particular home.
Design-and-construction award reported
Wastewater treatment
32,000 m³/dayTreating used water for planned reuse
Hassan Allam reports an award to Hassan Allam Construction with MetiPro. It describes plans to reuse treated water for watering landscaped areas and for shared cooling systems.
Still needs confirmationAn award establishes a named work scope. It does not establish completed tests, actual treatment today, an appointed utility operator or a sewer connection for every home.
READ THE UNIT
160 K m³/day
means 160,000 m³/day.
The table uses K for thousand. The figure is a capacity in the investment plan, not measured water production today.
READ THE YEAR COLUMN
The source prints
2026 under “NTP”.
It does not label this as an opening or home-handover date. This guide keeps the column’s wording and does not turn it into a completion promise.
KEEP THE FLOWS SEPARATE
The two capacities
are not a city total.
One record concerns seawater desalination. The other concerns treating used water, with planned reuse for watering landscaped areas and shared cooling systems. Their figures do not establish a supply-and-demand balance, the population served or a ratio of used water to water supplied.
WHAT CAN GO ON THE MAP?
A city project name
does not locate the plant.
These reviewed records do not give a verified plant site, service boundary, pipe route or assignment to each precinct. The guide keeps those positions unknown. It does not place a plant at a generic utility symbol or at the centre of Wadi.
Keep these six questions
with the home’s offer.
Which plant serves the home?
Ask for the exact supply arrangement and the phase it serves. A city-wide project name is not a connection record for one building.
Who provides and bills the service?
Ask for the water and sewer operators, account setup, tariffs, meter arrangements and responsibility for shared pumps or tanks.
What is ready at handover?
Ask for the connection and commissioning records for the home’s phase, including any temporary supply arrangement and its costs.
How is water quality checked?
Ask for dated water-quality test reports, the sampling point, testing responsibility and the procedure for service interruptions.
Where does used water go?
Ask which sewer and treatment arrangements serve the home, and how treated-water reuse is kept separate from domestic supply.
What does the source year mean?
Keep the 2026 NTP table entry separate from a completion, opening or handover date. Ask for the project-specific written programme before relying on a date.
Sources, reporting periods and the limits of this comparison
Cox’s 2025 annual-report investment-plan section is on physical PDF pages 181–184, with the water table on page 184 (printed 175). The half-year report for 30 June 2026 uses the same investment-plan context on physical pages 84–86; the water table is on page 86 (printed 81). Both list “Modon Ras El Hekma SWRO”, 160 under K m3/d, and 2026 under NTP. The reporting-period dates are retained separately from unknown document-publication dates. The company’s April 2024 glossary defines SWRO as seawater reverse osmosis and K as thousand; that glossary does not establish a Ras El Hekma contract.
Hassan Allam’s 15 July 2026 release reports the design-and-construction award with MetiPro and a 32,000 m³/day sewage-treatment capacity. Its described treatment and reuse are design intentions. A construction contractor is not assumed to be the appointed utility operator.
This reader does not establish a signed desalination award, commissioned capacity, current output, drinking-water test results, tariffs, every precinct’s service coverage or a particular home’s water and sewer connections. Company investment planning is also separate from approval of the city’s land-use plan. No area, price, return, total capacity or population estimate is calculated.
