MUSCAT: The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn) has initiated a number of steps to boost the investment appeal of its industrial cities.
At Sur Industrial City, work is underway in implementing infrastructure improvements totaling RO12 million in value. These projects, due for completion in Q3 2022, include the construction of a 17 km length of water network, 14 km of sewage network, 10.6 km of road network, 6.8 km of water drainage channels, two wastewater storage tanks with total capacity of 1230 m3, and water tanks.
Importantly, there are plans to establish a multi-purpose international port in Sur Industrial City and accommodate new expansions as well. Accordingly, Madayn has floated a tender for pre-qualification of consulting companies to master-plan the expansion.
The updated masterplan will identify suitable locations for heavy industries, service paths, and locations for infrastructure facilities, conduct hydrological studies for wadi courses, drainage and protection schemes, and create additional leasable areas.
In Nizwa Industrial City, Phases 3 and 4 are being added as well on an additional 2 million sqm of land. Work is also in progress to prepare tender documents for the commercial and residential areas at Nizwa Industrial City, which aim at providing essential services and facilities to the companies and workers in the industrial city such as commercial stores, auto care services, health services, and suitable housing complexes.
Samayil Industrial City will be officially inaugurated at the beginning of 2022. “Madayn is currently executing the design and implementation of infrastructure complementary project in Samayil Industrial City. The project features a dual-lane road spanning 1.4 km from the roundabout at the main entrance of Samail Industrial City to the roundabout near Al Sharqiyah expressway. The project also includes designing and executing sewage pipe linking phase 3 with phase 1 of Samayil Industrial City. This project, which is valued at RO 2 million, aims at enhancing and developing the infrastructure of Samail Industrial City,” said Hilal al Hasani, CEO – Madayn.
Madayn is also completing the development of Al Buraimi Industrial City with the establishment of a sewage network and plant, rehabilitating roads and rain drainage channels, in addition to developing an area of 300,000 sqm allocated for SMEs. Moreover, Madayn is currently conducting a feasibility study for fruit and vegetable market to be established in the wilayat of Mahdah. The study will be completed by the end of the current year.
As part of the Phase 7 development of Suhar Industrial City, new roads and water lines are being added. At Mazunah Free Zone, afacility building is currently being constructed on an area of 11,000 sqm with a total value of more than RO 3 million.
