Hyder completes Doha DC plant EPC design.

Hyder Consulting has announced its completion of the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) design of Qatar Cool's third district cooling plant in Doha.

The plant is being built to supply district cooling to residential and commercial buildings in the West Bay area of the city, a statement from the company said.

Offering 35,000 refrigeration (RT) tonnes of mechanical cooling, the plant will also feature a thermal energy storage (TES) tank, offering an additional 5,000 RT.

It will be the first plant in Qatar to use treated sewerage effluent (TSE) for make-up water, reducing reliance on potable water which satisfies the environmental requirements of the Qatari water and electricity authority Kahramaa.

The plant aims to become the first district cooling plant in Qatar to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, having been designed to LEED Silver standard.
