Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has awarded a new Dhs289m contract to enhance Dubai’s water transmission network linked to the Hassyan water plant, one of the world’s largest seawater reverse-osmosis facilities. The project is being developed under the independent water producer (IWP) model.
The scope of work includes the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of 32 kilometres of glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE) main water transmission pipelines, each with a diameter of 1,200 millimetres.
HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, said the Hassyan water plant represents a critical pillar of Dubai’s long-term water security system, supporting the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036 and the Dubai Integrated Water Resource Management Strategy 2030. He noted that the new transmission infrastructure will enhance network resilience and expand capacity to meet rising demand, while reinforcing sustainability and supply reliability.
The project is scheduled for completion within 18 months and will further strengthen Dubai’s advanced water infrastructure as the emirate continues to scale capacity to support population growth and economic development.
