The commencement of the construction phase marks a milestone for Webuild’s expansion into the water market and Fisia’s entry into the oil and gas (O&G) sector.
The Zuluf oilfield, operated by Saudi Aramco, is undergoing extensive development as part of the country’s Saudi Vision 2030 growth plan initiated in 2018.
Fisia was awarded two contracts last year, totalling €408m ($442.80m), to construct and manage the Zuluf water treatment facility.
