Chennai, March 20 (UNI) City-based pure play water technology company VA TECH WABAG (WABAG), today said it has secured a consortium award of a ‘Large’ order from United Water Supply Company of Georgia LLC (UWSCG).
WABAG classifies a `large’ order as anything between Rs.250 crore and Rs.600 crore.

The 19 MLD WWTP is designed for future expansion up to a capacity of 56 MLD.
The Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) scope of the project includes demolition of the existing plant, construction of the new WWTP, and installation of an effluent pipeline to the river.
As the consortium leader, WABAG will undertake design, engineering, supply, installation, and commissioning of the treatment systems, along with training of client personnel and supervision of Operation & Maintenance (O&M) for a period of 12 months.
The plant will feature advanced mechanical and biological treatment with nutrient removal based on the activated sludge process, along with final sedimentation and ultraviolet disinfection.
The project also includes sludge treatment facilities, solar sludge drying systems, odour control systems, and associated pumping infrastructure.
This order marks WABAG’s entry into the CIS region and the Georgian market, further strengthening its position as a trusted partner in delivering sustainable and innovative water management solutions globally.
Commenting on this development, Mahmut Gedek, Chief Executive Officer - Europe Cluster said: “We are proud to secure the Kutaisi WWTP contract, marking WABAG’s entry into Georgia, and we thank our customer for their trust. Leveraging our experience, we have delivered a technically robust and commercially competitive solution ensuring safe discharge into the River Rioni, and sustainable sludge management.
