DEWA has a $58.5mn plan to boost water transmission network reliability

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has awarded a contract worth AED216 million (US$58.5 million) for a project to boost the efficiency and reliability of Dubai’s water transmission networks.

The contract includes the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipelines of varying diameters, along with associated works across multiple locations.

Scheduled for completion within 24 months, it will support Dubai’s advanced infrastructure and multi-sector development initiatives.

The project entails the installation, testing and commissioning of a 7.1-kilometre main water transmission line, along with 20 interconnections for the transmission and distribution networks to increase flow and pressure in the network across various areas of Dubai.

This aims to reinforce the system’s readiness and its ability to meet growing demand.

DEWA said this in a press release but did not disclose the name of the company. 

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, emphasised that DEWA is committed to enhancing production and operational efficiency while strengthening the reliability of Dubai’s water transmission networks, in support of the emirate’s sustainable development goals.
