Following the successful completion of the Lusail Highway project in Qatar, WJ was appointed by Hyundai Engineering and Construction (HDEC) the Main Contractor for the client Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company (KIPIC)—as the dewatering contractor for the Al Zour Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal Project.
Located in Al-Zour, near the Saudi border and approximately 90 km south of Kuwait City, the terminal features:
Despite the ground condition comprising dredged silty sand being ideal for dewatering, the project posed unique challenges:
WJ was operating in a new country, navigating unfamiliar logistics and regulations.
The intake and outfall structures were massive—each up to 500m x 200m and 15m deep.
Initial plans included both perimeter and internal systems, but the perimeter system performed so effectively that the internal system was no longer required.
The project began in early 2018 during Kuwait’s cooler months. As temperatures soared into the 40°C range and the holy month of Ramadan commenced, WJ adapted by shifting installation works to nighttime hours, maintaining daytime monitoring only.
Despite the extreme conditions, WJ delivered its trademark expert service—on time, on spec, and with precision.
