Gulf Warehousing Company (GWC) – Qatar’s leading logistics services provider – has been named the National Winner for Qatar in the wastewater treatment sector for its sewage water treatment plant in the GWC Bu Sulba Warehousing Park. 

 

The award was announced as part of the 15th edition of the annual MEED Projects Awards, held in collaboration with Mashreq Bank. This recognition qualifies the company for the regional stage, where the MENA winners will be announced on November 19.

 

Sheikh Abdulla Bin Fahad Bin Jassim Bin Jaber Al Thani, GWC Group Managing Director, said: “This award not only celebrates our contribution to national development but also highlights the strategic importance of the Sewage Treatment Plant in the GWC Bu Sulba Warehousing Park. It marks a milestone in our ongoing commitment to upholding the highest sustainability standards, safeguarding the environment, and advancing sustainable development and support to the Small & Medium Entreprises (SMEs).”

 

The Sewage Treatment Plant at GWC Bu Sulba Warehousing Park adheres to world-class standards for water treatment and sustainability best practices, effectively generating TSE Water (Treated Sewage Effluent) to irrigate plants and trees. Using TSE water for irrigation can improve soil fertility, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, and conserve water resources, which promotes sustainable agricultural practices and aligns with Qatar’s sustainable development goals.

 

The plant treats 456 cubic metres of water daily, ensuring a reliable and sustainable supply for irrigation systems. The recycled water is used to irrigate a total of 20,000 sq m of landscaped areas, including trees, shrubs, and grass. The GWC Bu Sulba Warehousing Park spans 520,000 sq m in total, comprising 200,000 sq m of warehouses and distribution centres, 21,000 sq m of residential facilities, and 21,000 sq m allocated to container yards and open storage spaces.  -TradeArabia News Service
