MAC Construction was awarded the contract
to build the first desalination plant in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province,
where previously, only salty brackish water from artesian wells was available.
Access to the site, located in Aziziah (about 15 kilometres south of AI-Khobar),
was via an unasphalted track over which cranes, construction equipment
and evaporator vessel modules (each weighing up to 65 tons) were transported.
MAC also provided all life-support facilities, including electrical generation
equipment, living quarters, offices and shops.
