Ensuring efficient stormwater drainage for the city of Jeddah

The Jeddah Storm Water Program (JSWP) complements Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Programme (JSDP). Both programmes were launched to revive the city’s drainage system, ensure the city’s infrastructure longevity, and help mitigate the effects of flooding that Jeddah has experienced in recent years.

Spanning a total of over 171,600 hectares, JSWP will serve more than 2.5 million people. Till the end of 2022, the ongoing projects under the supervision of WSP (22 projects) are covering about 25% of the targeted area and serving over 450 thousand people with a total cost of CAD 712 million.

The Programme Scope includes the construction of 5 pumping stations, more than 382 thousand meters of pipes, over 3600 manholes, 2900 catch basins, and 5,480 meters of box culverts.
