New Record Valve Order from Egypt
New Capital Transmission Line Project, Cairo 31-10-2024
We are excited to announce that AVK Gulf has been awarded a major contract, worth USD $20M, for the supply of Valves, as large as DN2200, for the Transmission lines that will transmit Water from the Nile to the New Administrative Capital’s (NAC) Water Treatment plant located approximately 45 kilometres east of Cairo.
The NAC is one of Egypt’s most ambitious projects, designed to reduce Cairo’s congestion and prepare for future growth. Spanning 700 square kilometers, it will house over 6 million people and is being built in phases, with plans to host the country's government, ministries, and foreign embassies, making it a strategic administrative hub for Egypt. It will also feature residential districts, parks, hospitals, and schools, positioning it as a key part of Egypt’s future urban landscape.
AVK’s contribution will help ensure the new city has a sustainable water supply to support its residents, businesses, and industries.
Behind the Scenes: Participating in Large Project Tenders
Our journey began over three years ago during the pre-tender bid phase, where we provided technical support to the consultant, Hydro, and the Administrative Capital for Urban Development (ACUD), the state-owned enterprise managing the NAC. AVK’s selection as a preferred supplier reflects our reputation for excellent customer service, product quality, and reliability. This track record was built by successfully delivering projects such as the Future of Egypt and gave us a competitive advantage in securing this order.
Teamwork is Key
Behind every major project win is a dedicated team working hard behind the scenes to meet the customers’ expectations. This project wouldn't have been possible without the coordination and leadership of several key players across the company. The collaboration between AVK Gulf, AVK Anhui, ACMO, and AVK International was key to providing ACUD with the support they needed. Our products received full approval from Hydro's consultants, thanks to our agent’s invaluable support and the technical leadership and presentations delivered by Rahees Usman and Ole Hedegaard. The success of this project is a testament to the commitment between our sales teams and factories to ensure that communication flowed smoothly between departments and with our customers in Egypt.
Reliability in Action
Delivering this project is a long-term commitment, and reliability is key. The project includes butterfly valves from AVK Anhui, nozzle check valves from ACMO and gate valves from AVK International. Our valves will be supplied over a 12-month period, ensuring that each phase of the water transmission line is equipped with top-quality products.Securing this major contract shows the strength of our team’s technical expertise, commitment to quality, and ability to work together across regions. As we continue to deliver on this project, we look forward to more opportunities to support Egypt’s ambitious development goals.
