This operational phase reflects Ashghal’s mandate to strengthen national infrastructure, promote efficient resource management and ensure the long-term delivery of safe, reliable and sustainable wastewater services across the State of Qatar. The transition was implemented under Ashghal’s governance and oversight, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance, operational readiness, safety and environmental responsibility.

The operational partnership covers defined wastewater treatment and network operations across the designated catchment zone in Qatar South. During the transition phase, structured mobilisation activities were conducted, including system familiarisation, training programmes and joint operational reviews, to ensure continuity of service as operations moved into steady-state delivery.

As part of Ashghal’s framework contract, SAUR supports wastewater operations in Qatar South as one of the Authority’s framework contractors, drawing on its international experience in operating complex wastewater treatment facilities in urban and industrial environments. Saur has been active in Qatar for several years under Ashghal’s framework arrangements, bringing operational expertise, established practices and a strong safety culture.

"Wastewater services are critical infrastructure. Entering the operational phase is a decisive moment, as it is when reliability, safety and continuity of service are tested every day. Our teams, drawing on SAUR’s international experience, are fully mobilised to support wastewater operations in Qatar, working in partnership with Ashghal and in line with national priorities and regulatory frameworks.
