SELECTED EXPERIENCE


Al Ezzel Independent Water and Power Project (2004) Ministry of Finance and National Economy, Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain


To win this flagship project we demonstrated a strong team with recent in-country experience. Our team included HR Wallingford undertaking thermal modelling and dispersion studies on the inlet and discharge, with Bahraini companies providing marine ecology, laboratory analysis and monitoring support for WSP. We project managed the team and provided all other technical aspects of the EIA, including; air quality modelling, acoustic assessment, water quality, ecology, contaminated land, archaeology and environmental management.


Shoaiba III Independent Water and Power Project (2005) Saudi Malaysian Consortium, Shoaibah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia


WSP undertook the SEA for the Shoaiba IWPP and developed a plan for its ongoing environmental management and monitoring. The project comprised 900 MW power generation and 880,000 m3


of desalinated


water production. The SEA had to meet the standards of the Saudi Regulator (Presidency of Meteorology and Environment) and those financing the project, as well as complying with the Equator Principles. In delivering the planning approvals within the stringent time constraints, and keeping all stakeholders informed about its progress, we ensured the Consortium could achieve sign-off.


Shuqaiq Independent Water and Power Project (2006) ACWA Power - Shuqaiq, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia


WSP was appointed by ACWA Power to undertake the SEA Phase II. The design and location of the marine outfall was key, we needed to ensure minimal recirculation issues and minimal impact on nearby habitats. We undertook air quality monitoring and modelling of IWPP atmospheric emissions to demonstrate compliance with World Bank guidelines, and the monitoring of noise generated by the existing plant as well as noise prediction models for the proposed plant. We also ensured close cooperation with Saudi nationals from the King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah, to deliver culturally sensitive to consultations.


Marafiq Independent Water and Power Project (2007) Suez Energy, Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia


We undertook the Scoping and SEA for the Marafiq IWPP, the largest such facility in the world with a capacity of 2,748 MW of power generation and 800,000 m3


of potable water


generation. Given the international financing of this $2.5 billion project, the SEA needed to be Equator Principle compliant and meet the local Royal Commission regulations in force in Jubail, as well as the National Regulations for Saudi Arabia. The subsequent SEA included extensive air, water and acoustic modelling, marine and acoustic surveys in addition to a large number of other assessments and evaluations.
