SCSC has been proud to contribute to the overall successful development of a Solid Waste Management system in Kirkuk City, northern Iraq.  At the request of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), and in consultation with the US Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT), SCSC provided specific consultancy capacity to advise the Kirkuk authorities on all aspects of Solid Waste Management practices.

 

Kirkuk city has benefitted enormously from specialist support, based on international experience and best practices, over the last three years.  The Solid Waste Management system now in place, with SCSC’s direct support, is effective, cost efficient, and provides a holistic solution to the needs of this strategically important city.

 

Using best practices from the international arena, the system now in place includes solid waste collection from the point of origin, transportation to specially designed and constructed transfer stations, followed by disposal of waste in a recently completed EPA (Class 1) landfill.  Throughout the process, SCSC has engaged with local entities to assist in overall delivery, and has contributed to providing employment opportunities to the local residents of Kirkuk (in excess of 325,000 man working days).

 

Kirkuk’s waste generation of approximately 800 tonnes per day is now manageable on a sustainable basis, to the benefit of the citizens of Kirkuk, and the Municipality authorities.  Kirkuk is now considered the Iraqi flagship for how to establish and maintain a comprehensive Solid Waste Management system.  SCSC is proud to be associated with this success, and looks forward to continuing to support and engage with Kirkuk and Iraqi authorities in developing this success elsewhere in the country.

 

SCSC has considerable experience and technical expertise in the area of Solid Waste Management.  Our Solid Waste Management sector is led by a highly qualified (PhD level) technical specialist, who is considered the lead expert in this sector across the entire Middle East region.  SCSC also has secured sole rights to the committed services of those experts who have been so instrumental to the success in Kirkuk City, northern Iraq over the last three years. 

 

SCSC offers unbeatable world class solutions to Solid Waste Management issues world-wide, and is ready to provide consultancy or turn-key solutions to clients at any time.
