In a major infrastructure development, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has awarded a AED 216 million contract for a strategic project aimed at enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and capacity of Dubai’s water transmission networks.

Strengthening Dubai’s Water Transmission Network

The awarded contract covers the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipelines of various diameters, along with associated works across multiple locations in the emirate.

GRE pipelines are known for their durability, corrosion resistance, and long operational life-making them ideal for a city that prioritises resilience and sustainability in its infrastructure planning.

Leadership Commitment to Sustainable Development

His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of DEWA, reaffirmed DEWA’s commitment to enhancing production and operational efficiency while strengthening the reliability of Dubai’s water transmission systems. These efforts align closely with Dubai’s broader sustainable development goals, ensuring infrastructure readiness for future population and economic growth.

Project Scope and Key Highlights

The project includes:

7.1 kilometres of main water transmission lines
20 interconnections between transmission and distribution networks
Increased water flow and pressure across key areas of Dubai
Enhanced network reliability to meet rising demand

Once completed, the project will significantly reinforce Dubai’s water infrastructure, supporting both existing communities and upcoming developments.

Timeline and Long-Term Impact

Scheduled for completion within 24 months, the project is designed to ensure adequate water supply for current and future needs, while supporting Dubai’s expanding residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

For real estate investors and end-users, such infrastructure investments are critical indicators of long-term value, liveability, and sustainability-key drivers behind Dubai’s continued appeal as a global property destination.
