4 deals worth Dh1.4b signed as part of project to flood-proof Dubai

Dubai Municipality has awarded contracts worth Dh1.439 billion for four major projects to develop, rehabilitate, and expand Dubai’s stormwater drainage network.

- 

The new contracts fall within the scope of the Tasreef project, Dubai's largest unified stormwater collection system and the most operationally efficient in the region.

The projects will serve key areas across the emirate including Nad Al Hamar, the vicinity of Dubai International Airport, Al Garhoud, Al Rashidiya, Al Quoz, Zabeel, Al Wasl, Jumeirah, and Al Badaa.

The commissioned works are designed to provide sustainable and innovative solutions to mitigate flooding risks, enhance the efficiency of existing networks, and improve overall service levels. More than 36 kilometres of new drainage lines will be constructed, linking to the main Tasreef tunnel, which will ultimately connect drainage systems across the emirate.
