The directives have been laid out by Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to develop Dubai?s position as a golden hub for trade and finance.
DEWA CEO Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer said, ?These projects include the 600-1,200mm per diametre extension of glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE) main water pipelines, using the non-destructive road crossing (NDRC) tunnel-digging method to protect the infrastructure and services for major water transmission networks located around the emirate.
