Dubai Electricity and Water Authority has awarded a contract valued at more than Dh100.8 million for the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of glass-reinforced epoxy water pipelines aimed at protecting and diverting existing utility services across Dubai.
The project includes surveying, excavation, civil works, reinstatement, and full integration with the existing water network. Work will be carried out at 20 locations across the emirate over a 24-month period.
According to DEWA, the contract forms part of its broader investment in strengthening critical infrastructure to support Dubai’s development. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, DEWA’s managing director and chief executive, said the project aligns with the emirate’s strategy to expand and safeguard essential utility networks and ensure reliable water and electricity services.
The use of glass-reinforced epoxy pipelines reflects a focus on durability and corrosion resistance, particularly for underground applications. DEWA said the project is intended to improve resilience, protect existing services during future development, and support continuity of water supply as the city expands.
