Leading UAE developer Damac Properties has announced it has awarded a key contract to Danway Electrical & Mechanical Engineering (Danway EME) for the construction of electrical substations at its luxurious, master-planned community, Damac Lagoons.

 

A fully-owned subsidiary of UAE-based Al Nowais Investments, Danway Group of companies comprises Danway Electrical & Mechanical Engineering, Danway Industries and Danway Emirates in addition to Danway EME.

 

Announcing the contract award, Damac said these substations will be built under the supervision of Energoprojekt Entel Company, a global consultant approved by Dewa. 

 

The first substation, to be completed in 22 months, is located at a close proximity to Hessa Street and once commissioned will have a conversion capacity of 150MVA, said the statement from Damac. 

 

The other 132/11kV substation, meanwhile, will begin construction soon. In addition to reduced project completion duration, both substations have enhanced safety features and allow greater flexibility in construction, it added.

 

General Manager of Projects Mohammed Tahaineh said: "In continuation of Damac’s commitment to deliver this project on time, the first substation has been awarded to Danway EME given its long history of delivering quality power projects on time."

 

The scope of works includes the design, supply, construction, installation as well as testing and commissioning of substations, he stated. 

 

"As a developer, these are essential to fulfilling our commitments as far as our own deliverables are concerned and ensure that we provide the highest standards for utility services to our customers," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
