The project’s main activities include preventive, predictive and corrective operation and maintenance services; network inspections and cleaning; repair, replacement, rehabilitation and improvement works; the implementation of a customer service department; and incident management and resolution.

Moreover, Aguas de Valencia QB is introducing major technological and digital developments to enhance the operation and maintenance of the plant and networks. This has resulted in the implementation of asset management solutions, laboratory data processing, SCADA and process simulation.

Qatar has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years. This has brought large-scale investments in strategic infrastructure and, more recently, in operation and maintenance contracts. The government’s Public Works Authority, Ashghal, is responsible for the strategic planning, design, construction, procurement, operation and maintenance of water and road infrastructure which aim to contribute to the country’s sustainable development.
