Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly inaugurated the water station and raw water intake facility at the Qantara West Industrial Zone, affiliated with the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone, as part of his tour to open and inspect several projects in the area. The inauguration was attended by several ministers, including the Ministers of Electricity and Housing, along with the Chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone, the Governor of Ismailia, and the Chairman of Arab Contractors Company.
The design capacity of the project’s first phase is 35,000 cubic meters per day, with a total cost exceeding 475.8 million EGP. A future plan is in place for expansion in the second phase, increasing the capacity to 70,000 cubic meters per day over an area of 22,500 square meters, with an estimated cost reaching 905 million EGP. Additional expansions for the raw water intake facility are also planned, with an added capacity of 35,000 cubic meters per day, bringing the total to 70,000 cubic meters per day.
The Prime Minister emphasized that this project marks a qualitative leap in completing the comprehensive infrastructure of the industrial zone, boosting its attractiveness to major investments and ensuring the provision of essential services for both existing and future projects. He stressed that Qantara West is preparing to emerge as one of Egypt’s most promising industrial hubs.
For his part, Walid Gamal El-Din, Chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone, explained that these facilities—most notably the new water station—serve 40 diverse industrial projects that have been contracted so far. These projects span sectors such as food industries, textiles and ready-made garments, poultry equipment, and packaging, reinforcing the state’s strategy toward localization and increasing exports.

The components include a purification unit operating at 200 liters per second, stabilization and drying tanks, a dedicated chlorine disposal building, sludge pumps, as well as filtered water tanks with a capacity of 12,500 cubic meters and raw water tanks with a capacity of 8,000 cubic meters.
