Millions of pilgrims come from all over the world to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the most sacred event, Al Hajj – 8th Dhul Hijjah 1446. This significant event places extraordinary demands on water supply systems, requiring reliable performance under intense conditions.
Ensuring an uninterrupted water supply becomes a top national priority, reflecting the government’s strong commitment to the well-being of visitors and the successful execution of the Hajj season.
Hajj is not only the largest religious gathering but also a major challenge for engineering systems. In conditions where temperatures exceed 40°C and pressure differences occur in pipelines due to the mountainous terrain of Makkah, reliable technical solutions, high durability, and equipment resilience are crucial. AVK SVMC’s contribution of supplying high quality products and day-to-day continuous support, which has been appreciated by the end user to ensuring water supply during Hajj, is a clear example of how the company’s products perform under critical and high-demand conditions.
As part of the project, valves were supplied for key facilities in Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah.
The project was implemented in cooperation with the National Water Company of Saudi Arabia and became part of a large-scale program to modernise the water infrastructure.
Supplied equipment:
- Double Eccentric Butterfly Valves DN400, DN600, DN700, DN900
- Pressure Reducing Valves DN600, DN400
- Gate Valves DN100, DN150, DN400
Most of the equipment was manufactured at AVK’s Jeddah factory, certified to international standards.
Local production not only ensures faster delivery but also aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 - the Kingdom’s national strategy to diversify the economy, strengthen local industry, and reduce reliance on imports. A key priority of Vision 2030 is sustainable water management and the development of modern infrastructure.
By localising manufacturing, AVK contributes to this vision through job creation, the development of local engineering expertise, and reliable support for critical water supply and wastewater projects across Saudi Arabia.
