“This award aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to build world-class infrastructure that meets the growing needs of Dubai’s ambitious development plans. Investing in such protective measures is essential for the resilience of our networks and ensures we continue to provide a reliable, efficient and sustainable supply of electricity and water to all sectors of the emirate,” Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA said in a statement.
DEWA selected glass-reinforced epoxy material for its strength, corrosion resistance and durability. The material is suited to underground applications and supports the extended lifecycle of assets and infrastructure.
The project forms part of DEWA’s investment in reinforcing and expanding Dubai’s utility infrastructure. The authority aims to maintain standards of reliability, safety and efficiency across its water transmission and distribution networks.
By protecting existing services, DEWA will support new developments and infrastructure works whilst ensuring service continuity for customers during Dubai’s urban expansion.
