Manufacturing of Geosynthetic Materials
Manufacturing of Geosynthetic Materials
The project proposes establishing a local manufacturing facility for geosynthetic materials—Geotextile, HDPE membrane, and Geonet—driven by steadily rising demand across landfill, oil & gas, mining, and infrastructure sectors. With no domestic producers currently in place, and demand from entities like be’ah, PDO, and MDO, the opportunity addresses a critical market gap. Sourcing raw materials locally from OQ and aligning with be’ah’s technical standards, the project enhances supply chain resilience, supports In-Country Value (ICV), and contributes to Oman’s Vision 2040 goals of industrialization, economic diversification, and environmental sustainability.
