Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has awarded a AED 216 million contract for a strategic infrastructure project aimed at strengthening the efficiency, reliability, and resilience of Dubai’s water transmission network.
The project forms part of DEWA’s ongoing efforts to support the emirate’s growing demand for reliable water supply, while aligning with Dubai’s long-term sustainability and infrastructure development goals. By upgrading critical transmission assets, the initiative is expected to enhance operational performance, reduce maintenance requirements, and improve service continuity across the water network.
The scope of work includes the installation, testing and commissioning of a 7.1-kilometre glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE) main water transmission line, along with 20 interconnections linking transmission and distribution networks. These upgrades will increase water flow and pressure across several areas of Dubai, reinforcing system readiness and capacity.
Designed to ensure adequate water supply for both current and future needs, the project will play a key role in supporting Dubai’s expanding population and multi-sector development. Scheduled for completion within 24 months, the initiative will further strengthen the emirate’s position as a leader in advanced and resilient infrastructure development.
