New record valve order for AVK Gulf

The NAC is one of Egypt’s most ambitious projects, designed to reduce Cairo’s congestion and prepare for future growth. Spanning 700 km2, the new city will house over six million people. It is being constructed in phases, and the plan is that it will host the country's government, ministries, and foreign embassies, making it a strategic administrative hub for Egypt. It will also feature residential districts, parks, hospitals, and schools, positioning it as a key part of Egypt’s future urban landscape.

AVK’s contribution will help ensure that the new city has a sustainable water supply to support its many residents, facilities, and businesses.

Behind the Scenes: From project tenders to securing the final order

The journey began more than three years ago during the pre-tender bid phase, where AVK Gulf provided technical support to the consultant, Hydro, and to the Administrative Capital for Urban Development (ACUD), the state-owned enterprise managing the NAC.

AVK’s selection as a preferred supplier reflects our reputation regarding excellent customer service, product quality, and reliability. AVK Gulf's track record is built on successfully delivering projects such as the “Future of Egypt” and has given them a competitive advantage in securing this order.

Teamwork is key

Behind every major project win is a dedicated team working hard behind the scenes to meet the customers’ expectations. Winning this project wouldn't have been possible without the coordination and leadership of several key players across the company.

The collaboration between AVK Gulf, AVK Anhui, ACMO, and AVK International was key in providing ACUD with the needed support. The suggested products received full approval from Hydro's consultant, thanks to the agent’s invaluable support and the technical leadership and presentations delivered by Rahees Usman and Ole Hedegaard.

"The successful outcome is a testament to the commitment between our sales teams and factories to ensure that communication flowed efficiently between departments and with our customers in Egypt," says Rahees Usman, General Manager in AVK Gulf DMCC.

Expect quality in every step

Delivering to this project is a long-term commitment, and reliability is crucial. The order includes:

• Butterfly valves from AVK Anhui
• Nozzle check valves from ACMO
• Gate valves from AVK International

The valves will be supplied over a 12-month period, ensuring that each phase of the water transmission line is equipped with top-quality products.

"Securing this major contract shows the strength of our team’s technical expertise, our commitment to quality, and our ability to work together across regions. As we continue to deliver to the project, we look forward to more opportunities to support Egypt’s ambitious development goals," says Ole Hedegaard, Group Director and Regional Managing Director, AVK Middle East.
