01 September 2020
The Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (Sewa) has announced the implementation of five strategic development projects in the field of water transmission lines in a bid to boost its capacity.
The project includes the extension of a water pipeline from the Hamdah area to the Al Badee area with a total length of 55 km, and the completion of a project to extend a pipeline from the industrial area of Al Sajaa Oasis to the Al Barashi area, running 9 km long.
Work is currently under way on the extension of the 2.473-km-long main pipeline from the Central Market area to King Faisal Street which is nearly 80 per cent completed.
The authority is also implementing a project for a 1.4-km-long pipeline in the Samnan area with a completion rate of 30 per cent while work has started on implementing a line from Al Nahda to the industrial zone with a length of 5.2 km.
Chairman Engineer Rashid Al Leem said Sewa aims to support water transmission networks and raise the quantities of water flow, to meet the rapid growth of water in various regions of Sharjah.
Director (Water Department) Engineer Issam Al Mulla said the new lines have been laid according to the best specifications, during which extensions made of insulated carbon steel were used to international standards which also suit health requirements.
