Engineering sustainable water solutions.

The company conducts research and development in the following areas:

• Justification and preliminary assessment of drinking water sources for the rural population of Uzbekistan;
• Preliminary study of environmental issues before commissioning water supply facilities, and preparation of proposals for their mitigation and prevention of negative impacts;
• Highly professional design work to improve technical facilities and enhance technologies for solving drinking water supply issues, as well as wastewater management problems.

Engineering research and design of groundwater facilities is carried out by highly qualified specialists.

As a result of engineering and technical work, the designed networks, pipelines, and facility areas are mapped. Then, engineering-geological and laboratory studies of groundwater samples are conducted.

Comprehensive engineering surveys have been carried out for the following major water supply networks:

• Shahrisabz–Kamashi–Guzor, length 63 km, Kashkadarya region;
• Ak Suv–Dehkanabad, length 75 km, Kashkadarya region;
• Water supply line in the northwest of Tashkent region, length 120 km;
• "Jetibay" – pasture water pipeline, length 195 km, Navoi region;
• "Oguzkok" – pasture water pipeline, length 180 km, Navoi region;
• "Omontoy" – pasture water pipeline, length 228 km, Navoi region;
• Group of water pipelines in Khorezm region, total length 630 km.

OBI HAYOT, aiming to provide the population of Uzbekistan with clean drinking water, has developed design and estimate documentation for the following facilities: collective water supply networks, flow water collectors, pipelines for specific areas, main water pipelines, water supply and interregional flow pipelines, wells, pipe and shaft wells, and pasture water pipelines.

A development plan for rural drinking water supply up to 2010 has been created. In accordance with this development plan, design and estimate documentation has been prepared and handed over for the construction of over 27,000 km of water pipelines, 23,000 water supply wells, 6,000 shaft wells, and 29 million hectares of pastures.

OBI HAYOT carries out construction and installation works on facilities that provide rural populations with drinking water. Over more than 50 years, the company has built over 27,000 km of water pipelines, 33,000 well shafts, 11,000 shaft wells, and supplied water to 29 million hectares of pastures across all regions of the Republic.

The following water supply facilities and structures have been constructed and commissioned:

• Shahrisabz–Kamashi–Guzor water pipeline, 63 km, Kashkadarya region;
• Inter-farm water pipeline, 80 km, Kuva district, Fergana region;
• Pasture water pipeline "Omontoy," 228 km, Navoi region;
• Pasture water pipeline "Oguzgog," 180 km, Navoi region;
• Pasture water pipeline "Jettikechuvsai," 63.5 km, Jizzakh region;
• Group water pipelines, total length 630 km.

OBI HAYOT provides the study and implementation of new equipment and technologies, consulting, and marketing in the field of drinking water supply.

From the early years of Uzbekistan's independence to the present, projects have been developed and implemented with the following companies and financial institutions: SIMA (Slovakia), INTERSIGMA (Czech Republic), SIEMENS, SRP, WABAG, LURGI, GRUNDFOS, WEMEX, GITEC CONSULT (Germany), TONE CORPORATION, KANEMATSU CORPORATION, NISSAKU CORPORATION, CORPORATION MITSUBISHI (Japan), SOCIETE GENERALE, SAUR Challenger (France), ABB Kent plc, BINNIE & PARTNERS (UK), SWECO (Sweden), IWACO (Netherlands), COWI (Denmark), EAST WATER, Provincial Waterworks Authority of Thailand (Thailand). Close cooperation is carried out with the ESCAP, UNDP, and UNICEF offices of the United Nations.

In cooperation with SIEMENS, water supply projects are being completed in all regions of the Republic using the latest technology for the treatment, preparation, and delivery of drinking water to the rural population (container installations).

In 1997, four drinking water supply projects were implemented in the Republic of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm region under a KfW German Bank grant and are currently in operation.

In cooperation with the Japanese company KANEMATSU CORPORATION, drinking water supply projects in Bukhara and Kashkadarya regions, totaling USD 10 million (under a grant from the Japanese Government), were prepared and submitted for consideration by the Government of the Republic.

Currently, the development of feasibility studies for several investment projects financed by KfW (Germany) banks is underway, and negotiations are being held with Société Générale (France) and the international cooperation agency DJAIKO (Japan).

OBI HAYOT participates in projects to eliminate the consequences of the environmental disaster in the Aral Sea region, financed by the World Bank.

In cooperation with the Swiss-Swedish ABB group, a project for the production of water meters for hot and cold water accounting is currently being implemented, and a joint venture “ABB-Tashkent” has been established.
