Va Tech Wabag secured from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), awards towards Design, Build, Operate (DBO) of a 100 MLD and 60 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) at Byramangala and Bellandur respectively, along with a 25 MLD Tertiary Treatment Plant (TTP) at Byramangala. The scope includes the Design, Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPC) of the wastewater treatment facilities along with biogas-based power generation. The STPs will be based on the Activated Sludge Process integrated with a Biological Nutrient Removal system. The TTP at Byramangala will utilize Ultrafiltration to produce high-quality treated water suitable for distribution to surrounding water bodies. It is worth noting that, WABAG had previously executed the first phase of the Bellandur facility and has now been awarded the second phase as well. The EPC scope of the facilities is scheduled for completion within 36 months, followed by a 7-year Operations and Maintenance (O&M) period, during which WABAG will ensure efficient and reliable plant performance. The Wastewater Treatment facilities at Byramangala and Bellandur will significantly strengthen Bengaluru`s wastewater treatment and water infrastructure, addressing the city`s growing challenges arising from rapid urbanization. The facility will incorporate anaerobic sludge digestion with biogas based captive power generation, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, lowering the plant`s energy footprint, enhancing operational efficiency, and promoting resource recovery. By integrating the treatment technologies with renewable energy generation, the project will support Bengaluru`s long term water security while advancing its sustainability and circular economy objectives.

Va Tech Wabag (WABAG) has been awarded a `Large` order by the City of Vienna, Municipal Department MA 31 - Wiener Wasser, for the expansion of the Donauinsel Water Works in Vienna, Austria. According to the company`s project classification, the value of the order ranges between Rs 250 crore to Rs 600 crore. With this project, WABAG further strengthens its position as a leading full-service provider for complex infrastructure in drinking water and wastewater treatment. The project highlights WABAG`s ability to deliver integrated, climate-resilient water technology solutions for major public utilities and reinforces its role as a reliable partner for sustainable water management. The overall facility is scheduled for completion and commissioning in 2030, followed by acceptance milestones. For WABAG, the project represents a flagship reference in Austria and underlines the Group`s strategic focus on Europe.WABAG will be responsible for the complete technology package of the new water works, covering process engineering, electrical engineering, instrumentation and control, as well as building services. The new facility will be equipped with a modern multi-barrier treatment process including oxidation, ozonation, advanced oxidation, filtration, activated carbon filtration and UV disinfection.The project is one of Vienna`s most important drinking water infrastructure investments in decades and forms a central part of the City of Vienna`s �Wiener Wasser 2050� strategy. With a design capacity of up to 1,000 litres per second, equivalent to approximately 86 MLD, the new water works will make a significant contribution to securing Vienna`s long-term drinking water supply. The expansion of the Donauinsel Water Works will strengthen the resilience of Vienna`s drinking water system by adding a controllable groundwater-based supply pillar alongside the city`s renowned alpine spring water supply. The plant will treat groundwater from protected well fields and feed high-quality drinking water into Vienna`s water supply network. In doing so, the project will support the city`s growing population, increasing peak demand and the challenges arising from climate change.
