WATER / DESALINATION
the desalination plant and wellfield and additional pumping stations downstream. These installations will generate major packages for pumps, motors, check valves, isolation valves, control valves, surge protection, manifolds and associated piping. At the end of 2025, work was progressing under a Limited Notice to Proceed covering surveys, site investigations, design and engineering, procurement and sourcing activities. The document stated that this phase would be followed by construction during 2026. This suggests that equipment and materials procurement is progressively moving into the execution phase.
The centrepiece of Aqaba-Amman will be a huge seawater reverse-osmosis plant near Aqaba, on the Gulf of Aqaba.
• air-release / vacuum valves;
• washout / drain valves;
• reservoir inlet / outlet valves.
The water conveyance system must transport huge quantities of water from
Aqaba towards Amman through major elevation changes. Consequently, it incorporates a series of high-capacity booster pumping stations. Early tender documentation divided the system into pumping stations between
