TerraConsult, a wholly-owned ByrneLooby company, was the lead landfill design engineer on one of the world’s largest hazardous waste management facilities, the Sohar Industrial Waste Treatment Facility.
Project Objective
The project’s scope of work involves the construction of waste management and treatment plant with a capacity of 135000 tonnes per year located at Sohar, Al Batinah, Oman.

It will also include a dedicated tanker vessel that will service visiting ships so they can discharge their waste in line with guidelines prescribed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
