Under the O&M contract, Metito Utilities will assume full responsibility for the plant’s day-to-day operation and maintenance. Its scope includes process control, plant performance optimization, regulatory compliance and long-term asset reliability.

The company will also implement proactive maintenance strategies and operational optimization measures to maintain reliable plant performance and support the long-term resilience of the wastewater treatment facility.

Sachin Kodolikar, Chief Operations Officer at Metito Utilities, said the company’s experience in operating and maintaining critical water and wastewater assets will enable it to optimize plant performance, implement proactive maintenance and deliver reliable and efficient operations at Dubai South.

The award comes as Dubai South continues to expand as a major urban, logistics and aviation development around Al Maktoum International Airport. Reliable wastewater infrastructure will support the area’s growing communities and developments while contributing to sustainable urban growth.
