Al-Qaryan Group Executes Multiple Dismantling and Recycling Projects for Saudi Water Authority

Ali Asiri

Al-Qaryan Group, a leading Saudi closed joint-stock company specialized in industrial dismantling, demolition, and circular industries, has commenced a series of projects for the Saudi Water Authority. The projects involve the dismantling, demolition, and recycling of water production units at the Shuqaiq System (Phase I), in addition to multi-effect distillation units located in the cities of Al-Wajh, Umluj, Al-Lith, and Al-Qunfudhah.

Covering a total area exceeding 423,000 square meters, the first phase of these projects includes the complete removal of all structures, equipment, and materials from the designated sites. All dismantled materials are then transported to Al-Qaryan Group’s specialized processing facilities and downstream factories, where they are processed and recycled in accordance with the highest environmental standards for sorting, classification, and recycling. This ensures responsible materials recycling and promotes the principles of the circular economy.

Commenting on the projects, Eng. Abdulaziz Yahya Almuayyad, CEO of Al-Qaryan Group, expressed that the Group is proud to be entrusted with the award of these projects spanning a wide geographical range — from the far north to the far south of the Kingdom along the Red Sea coast. He emphasized that this reflects the level of confidence in the Group’s capabilities and its extensive experience in industrial dismantling and demolition and circular industries. Almuayyad reaffirmed Al-Qaryan’s commitment to deploying its full technical and human resources to execute these projects at the highest safety and quality standards to maximize recycling rates to preserve materials, and to minimize harmful landfilling generating significant economic value through high local content, and in alignment with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative.

Almuayyad further highlighted that Al-Qaryan Group, driven by its strategic purpose to contribute significantly to building a sustainable future, continues to develop and deliver advanced, integrated solutions in industrial dismantling, demolition, and recycling. The Group targets and collaborates with large-scale industrial clients across the Kingdom, with a focus on expanding the recycling industry — particularly in the metals sector — as a key driver of both economic and environmental sustainability,
