This session saw the attendance of more than 90 executives, discussing pivotal issues in the water sector. Alqureshi highlighted SWPC’s initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions. He emphasized the company's approach of tendering projects that leverage environmentally friendly technologies, enforcing an energy consumption cap, and promoting the use of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and biogas.
Throughout the event, Eng. Khaled Alqureshi also had the opportunity to meet up with numerous EPC contractors who are eager to participate in SWPC’s future water projects.
The SWPC exhibition booth also attracted significant attention from international representatives, showcasing the company's extensive project portfolio and achievements.
