In July 2009, AIM Group was selected by the National Water Company (NWC) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as the Expert Services Provider of choice for its Capital Projects Programme which entails construction of water and wastewater projects in Riyadh & Jeddah cities to the value of circa SAR20 billion (over US$5 billion). AIM has won NWC's selection through an international tender process in competition with some of the leading consulting practices in the world, where the selection criteria relied not only on price competitiveness but on technical merits as well. 

NWC has recently been formed by the Saudi Government to be responsible for water and wastewater business in the whole of Saudi Arabia; with a mandate of working with international water firms to modernise and operate water & wastewater services commercially. Its capital projects programme includes a multi-billion Saudi Riyals portfolio of projects comprising tunnels; box culverts, thrust-boring; trenches; wastewater treatment plants; large pumping stations; outfalls; and complete new sewerage networks.

AIM's Experts' roles include projects reviews; troubleshooting; leading & negotiating project recovery plans including MOUs, supplemental agreements; technical advice on tunnels; pumping stations; outfalls; packaged plants & sewerage systems; together with high end project management services, claims evaluations & commercial settlements.

Fresh Company Profile

As part of our on-going development, AIM Group has recently rebranded. The rebranding is intended to emphasize our strengths, our unique approach to projects and, most importantly, our people. 

We have opted for an eagle logo, which in terms of heraldic symbolism signifies “a man of action, ever more occupied in high and weighty affairs, and one of lofty spirit, ingenious, speedy in apprehension and judicious in matters of ambiguity". We strongly believe that this symbolism reflects the standards and calibre of our Experts and highlights the level of expertise we can provide to our clients’ project teams

We will be using this rebranding exercise as an opportunity to refresh our contacts with both old and new Clients, as well as the personnel in our Experts Register and we are looking forward to discussing how we might work together to achieve successful international project delivery.
