DRAKE & Scull Water and Power (DSWP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Drake & Scull International (DSI), has secured a Dh470-million ($127 million) subcontract for the Strategic Tunnel Enhancement Programme (Step) pumping station in Abu Dhabi.

DSWP will be responsible for the design review, procurement and construction of MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) and instrumentation works for the pumping station. Developed by Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC), Step will be one of the longest gravity-driven wastewater tunnels in the world, designed to reduce the pressure on the current sewerage system and to expand its future capacity. The tunnel pumping station will be located at the termination of the new deep tunnel sewer at Al Wathba area.

The construction of the pumping station will be executed in partnership with the main design-and-build contractor – the Brazilian conglomerate Norberto Odebrecht.
