For a project to deliver, extend and execute a 600/900mm-diameter water transmission network by 3km in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has awarded a contract.

The deal is part of DEWA\'s plan to boost the efficiency and reliability of its water networks to meet rising demand, by boosting water flow to keep pace with a sharp swell in demand for water in different areas of Dubai.

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA said: \"DEWA continually supplies electricity and water at the highest levels of availability, reliability, efficiency and safety, to meet customers\' expectations. The main objective of the project is to enhance production and operational capacity, support water transmission networks and increase water flow to meet a sharp demand for water for current and future projects in the Palm. This will also contribute to DEWA\'s efforts to achieve sustainable development,”

Al Tayer said: \"The project includes laying 600/900mm-diameter water transmission pipes made of Glass Reinforced Epoxy to transmit water from the trunk of the Palm, crossing the tunnel, and reaching the crescent of the Palm. The total cost of the project is approximately Dhs57.5m and is intended to increase water flow to meet the growing increase in demand for water in the Palm.”

Al Tayer added: \"The project will be carried out in accordance with the pre-planned programme, and is expected to be completed within 18 months.”
