WATERBURY, Conn., July 28, 2003 -- Haestad Methods announced that it has provided its award-winning software to several new key accounts in the Middle Eastern and North African regions.
Some of the company's recent successes have included contracts with the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Water Works; Saud Consult, Saudi Arabia; Alexandria Water General Authority, Egypt; Ministry of Energy and Water, Zambia; and the University of Jordan.
Using Haestad Methods' software, clients in these arid areas have designed new and more efficient water distribution and drainage systems, supplying the population with plentiful and hygienic water. In particular, Saud Consult recently used WaterCAD®, Haestad Methods' water distribution modeling software, to complete several high-profile projects in Saudi Arabia for the Al-Madina Al-Munawwara water network, the Al-Quassim irrigation water network, and the Onaizah City water transmission line.
"Using this software has proven to be very helpful for our very particular needs," said Baker Al-Shawaf, head mechanical engineer for Saud Consult. "It has shortened our time spent in the planning phase of projects, allowing us to accomplish our main goal, which is to achieve the best scientific and financial results for our clients."
As the demand for the regions' water resources requirements continues to rise, Haestad Methods will work even closer with its Middle Eastern and North African clients to provide them with new and innovative solutions to meet their evolving needs. Some of Haestad Methods' current services offered to this client base include localized training and multi-lingual Arabic, French, and English technical support. In addition, Haestad Methods' diverse staff from over 35 different countries possesses the awareness of customs and business practices to guarantee its Middle Eastern and North African clients personalized and professional support in developing, utilizing, and managing customized models.
