Dubai Municipality has completed Phase 1 of the Sewerage and Stormwater Network Development Project in Al Quoz Creative Zone at a cost of AED250 million. The total investment in the project stands at AED500 million.
The project aims to develop a sewerage and stormwater system serving Al Quoz Industrial Areas 1, 2, 3, and 4, as well as the area between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. It spans a total area of 1,600 hectares and covers more than 1,507 plots.
Phase 1 included the construction of sewerage and stormwater drainage networks covering 155 hectares and 123 plots.
Dubai Municipality delivers 29km of sewerage and stormwater pipes in Al Quoz
Dubai Municipality delivered sewerage networks with a total length of 15 kilometres, with pipe diameters ranging from 160mm to 1,600mm. The works also included the development of a stormwater drainage network extending 14 kilometres, with pipe diameters ranging from 200mm to 3,000mm.
The project forms part of the emirate-wide Sewerage System Development Programme, which aims to transform the system into a network that is more efficient.
It also aligns with the Tasreef programme for stormwater drainage development, valued at AED30 billion – described as the largest unified stormwater collection system in the region – designed to increase drainage capacity by 700 per cent for the next 100 years.
“The Sewerage and Stormwater Network Development Project in Al Quoz is one of Dubai Municipality’s key strategic projects to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and operational readiness of the emirate’s infrastructure systems. It supports Dubai’s ongoing urban and population growth, reinforces its position as a global leader in sustainable urban planning, and strengthens the future readiness of its infrastructure, making Dubai a more attractive, sustainable, and liveable city,” Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality said in a statement.
“The project enhances the efficiency of sewerage and stormwater infrastructure systems in Al Quoz Creative Zone and supports its integrated urban model. It will further strengthen the area’s appeal as a vibrant hub for economic and investment activity, while keeping pace with the emirate’s future development requirements,” he added.
“This project contributes to enhancing the efficiency of the rainwater drainage system and the smooth flow of water in the Al Quoz Creative Zone, while reducing water accumulation. This ensures the continuity of services and business operations and supports the city’s resilience and preparedness to face various future climatic conditions,” Adel Mohammed Al Marzouqi, CEO of the Waste and Sewerage Agency at Dubai Municipality further explained.
Dubai Municipality continues to implement infrastructure projects that strengthen the emirate’s resilience to future environmental challenges, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure service continuity in line with urban and population growth.
These efforts support Dubai’s transition towards a city model aligned with national agendas and the leadership’s vision to position Dubai as a benchmark for infrastructure quality and public services.
