Water is where the group started, and where it goes deepest.

Eleven companies covering every stage from engineering to long-term operation — treatment, desalination, reuse, membranes, pumps, irrigation, landscaping and the automation that runs it.

How the Group Delivers Water

Water is what a client contracts for. Delivering it draws on four of the group’s business lines at once — nobody orders “manufacturing”, they order a plant whose membranes happen to be made in the Kingdom.

The Scale Behind Delivery

1,047
water treatment plants delivered

WETICO cumulative since 1990 — the depth behind every stage on this page.

The eleven companies behind the sector

Every company that touches a water project, with the stages it carries and the business line it belongs to.

WETICO

Designs, manufactures, installs and operates desalination and water, sewage and wastewater treatment plants.

Toray Membrane ME

RO membranes manufactured on 40,072 m² in Dammam — joint venture with Toray since 2014.

KSB Arabia

Pumps and mechanical solutions, supplied and serviced — joint venture with KSB since 1992.

Saudi Meters (SMC)

Smart water meters and measurement, made in Riyadh’s 2nd Industrial City since 1980.

Plime

Filtration and separation for water, oil and gas — 20,000 m² at Petro Rabigh since 2022.

IWAC

HVAC and ventilation on integrated water projects, including Rabigh 4.

Citiscape

Hardscape, softscape, irrigation and drainage — planted, then kept alive.

MEAC

Irrigation and agricultural water systems — the business the group started in.

IICS

SCADA, control systems and smart water networks — certified integrator for AVEVA and Rockwell.

Abunayyan Trading

Supply, logistics, MRO and long-term operation and maintenance contracts.

SIS

Integrated facilities management — joint venture with IREP since 2025.

What we deliver

Nineteen disciplines in six groups — each one held by a company that does it as its main business, not as a side line.

Desalination & advanced treatment

Seawater and brackish plants engineered, built and operated — with the membranes inside them made in Dammam.

Seawater desalination (SWRO)
Brackish water (BWRO)
Nanofiltration (NF)
RO membranes
WETICO · Toray Membrane ME

Sewage, industrial & reuse

Municipal and industrial effluent treated to a standard that lets the water go back into the network instead of the sea.

Sewage treatment (STP)
Industrial wastewater (ETP · IWWP)
Water reuse (TSE)
Water treatment chemicals
WETICO · ABCI

Pumps, filtration & HVAC

The mechanical layer inside a plant, supplied by the companies that also service it afterwards.

Pumps & mechanical
Filtration & separation
Water-hammer protection
HVAC & ventilation
KSB Arabia · Plime · IWAC

Mobile & emergency water

Capacity that can be moved to where it is needed — including the first barge-mounted desalination plants in the world.

Barge-mounted & mobile plants
Storm-water & emergency pumping
WETICO · Abunayyan Trading

Landscape & irrigation

Where treated water is actually used — hardscape, softscape, drainage and agricultural irrigation, then kept alive.

Irrigation & drainage
Landscaping & greening
Citiscape · MEAC

Metering, control & O&M

What turns a delivered plant into an operating asset: measurement, remote control, and a long-term service contract.

Diriyah Gate: modern wastewater infrastructure that no visitor will ever see.

42M

litres treated per day

01 · What the client needed

Treatment capacity inside a heritage site

A development built around mud-brick heritage still needs to treat 42 million litres of wastewater a day. The plant could not announce itself — footprint, height and odour were design constraints before capacity was.

02 · Why one vendor wasn’t enough

Five stages, five contracts — or one

Design, engineering, supply, installation and operation are normally five procurements with five interfaces. On a constrained site each interface is a place where the process technology, the civil works and the operating plan can drift apart — and the client owns the gap.

03 · What integration bought them

One accountable party, design through operation

Food Chain Reactor technology was selected at design and carried through to operation by the same company, so the process choice and the operating reality were never negotiated across a contract boundary.

Water projects on record

Delivered and operating, with the scope attributed to whoever carried it.
