Veolia Water Technologies continues its investment in its mobile water services and now opening the new Dammam service center, which follows the recent launch of a similar facility in Heinsberg, Germany. This again confirms another important development of the company’s mobile water services and illustrates its commitment to invest in support of its Impact 2023 plan. Customers in the Kingdom, as well as Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Egypt, will have access to regional industrial production, providing them with long-term value and support through local access to this flexible and creative service.
In a wide range of industrial uses and conditions, such as emergency situations or planned commissioning, refurbishment, or maintenance applications, mobile water systems provide a cost-effective alternative to stationary plants. Contracts can last anything from a few days to several years. For optimal mobility and reactivity, mobile water treatment systems are pre-packaged on a trailer, skid, or container.
Mark Dyson, Vice President of Veolia’s mobile water business, explained: “This service center enables us to bring our unique innovative service to support our customers in the region with mobile water treatment technologies and expertise anytime and anywhere, 24/7/365. This service will enable our customers to have greater resilience around business continuity and ensure a reliable and compliant supply of treated water in an unforeseen circumstance, providing peace of mind and stable operations. In addition, customers will be able to maintain their plants whilst in full production and have the option of using a service provider on a more permanent basis for our longer-term rental solutions.”
Thierry Froment, CEO of Veolia Water Technologies Middle East, further stated: “Mobile water services are a key part of Veolia’s Impact 2023 strategy and contribute to businesses being more resilient in the face of planned or unforeseen events. This offering strengthens our portfolio of services in the region and allows us to help and support our customers to solve many of their treated water needs in a safe and responsible way. Damman is the perfect base to do it from and this investment will ensure we maintain our market leadership.”
The centre will be able to repair, service, and store all of Veolia’s mobile water services assets, spare parts, and consumables in addition to its unique regeneration capacity. The programmes will be organised, delivered, regenerated, and supported by a team of professionals committed to this service. In mid-September, the new facility will be completely operating.
Veolia Water Technologies is also investing in its Malaysian regeneration station to transform it from a service ion-exchange recycling business to a full ion-exchange range of mobile water services. The service centre, which will be based in Penang, will be able to serve and assist our customers throughout the Asia Pacific area, beginning with Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. This expansion is scheduled to open at the end of 2021.
