Dubai – Mubasher: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) made progress in the supply, extension, and commissioning of major water transmission networks with a total length of 46 kilometre, according to a statement.
The AED 260 million project supports DEWA’s plan to improve the efficiency of its water network.
“To date, approximately 13 kilometres, which is 30% of the project, has been completed,” according to Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and CEO of DEWA.
“The project includes the extension of GRE (glass reinforced epoxy) main water larger pipe, to increase water flow between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road along Hessa street and Al Qudra Road, and along the Jebel Ali to Al Hebab Road towards Emirates Road in the areas between Dubai to Al Ain Road and Al Qudra,” Al Tayer said.
“In addition, the project also includes an extension of the main water pipeline at Al Lusaily up to the junction between Al Ain Road at Jebel Ali and the Al Hebab Road, and several other pipelines from Mushrif station (headed towards Al Warqa) and Al Khaleej Road. This is intended to provide gravity-fed water, in case of emergency, and provide Al Reem and other future projects on both sides of Al Qudra Street with water,” Al Tayer added.
The project is expected to be completed by May 2018, Al Tayer noted.
