Procurement of 14 Pairs and 10 Combined Sewage Suction and Jetting Trucks with Fleet Management System

Cost: USD 4.13 million

Timeline: Completed

Brief: The Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KW&SC) has successfully procured 14 pairs and 10 combined sewage suction and jetting trucks equipped with an advanced fleet management system. This strategic investment significantly enhances our efficiency and effectiveness in clog removal and service delivery, particularly during rainy periods. Historically, KW&SC faced challenges due to outdated machinery and limited staffing for sewage maintenance, leading to frequent line collapses and the sinking of sewers throughout Karachi. These issues were further enhanced by the overburdening of the existing sewerage infrastructure, resulting in sewage overflow on the streets due to clogs especially in the periods of rain or Monsoons. With the recent addition of the new jetting and suction trucks, KW&SC is now better equipped to address these challenges. Our modern fleet allows us to swiftly and effectively clear clogs, ensuring improved service delivery and enhanced public health. KW&SC is committed to maintaining a reliable and efficient sewerage system for the residents of Karachi.
