Egyptian tycoon Hassan Allam-linked construction firm secures wastewater treatment plant contract

Intech, an operating subsidiary of Egypt-based Hassan Allam Holding, has been awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to construct a wastewater treatment plant in Mallawi, a city in Egypt’s governorate of Minya.

The new facilities will be built as part of the Egyptian administration’s policy “Hayah Karima” initiative for a “decent life,” with the main goal of increasing access to basic services such as health, education, water and sanitation in some of the most disadvantaged villages.

Hassan Allam Holding is Egypt’s largest privately held engineering, construction, and infrastructure company. Since its inception in 1936, it has been involved in Egypt’s infrastructure and construction industries.

Under the leadership of Egyptian multimillionaire businessman Hassan Allam, it has recently expanded its activities into diverse sectors, with a primary focus on large-scale engineering and construction projects, building materials and electrical and mechanical turn-key solutions.

In accordance with the project’s terms, Intech will construct a sewage pipeline and domestic sewage connections in the Egyptian governorate of Mallawi and surrounding villages such as Tuna al Jabal, Al-Muhharas, Beni Hafez, Al-Sawaha and Sheikh Shabeka.

The company will also build a pumping station and a wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 40,000 cubic meters per day, with plans to expand to 70,000 cubic meters per day in the future as part of the sanitation project.

Intech’s multimillion-dollar contract comes nearly a month after its parent company, Hassan Allam Holding, was awarded a contract to build Egypt’s first dual railway vertical-lift bridge.

In November 2021, the company secured its first project in Jordan, the construction of a 250-kilometer sewage line and 4,825 collection basins.

The project, which is part of the government’s strategy to strengthen northern Jordan’s sanitation network, will benefit 200,000 people in the Irbid region by improving sanitation service delivery.
