Work commence on the 25km water-transfer project

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has commenced work on a 25km water-transfer network project.

The $46.28mn (AED 170mn) project is intended to increase the quantity of water flow and ensure the continuity of water to meet demand to support current and future projects in Dubai.

The project has extended the main water pipeline with the use of Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) with different thicknesses, in addition to extending the control system and remote control from a pumping station in Al Quoz using 1,200mm-wide pipes, and the storage complex in Mushrif, and from Sheikh Zayed Road to Palm Jumeirah, using 900mm-wide pipes.

“DEWA started the project in January 2014 based on its planned strategy, and work is expected to finish on the extension of the major water systems within 20 months
