The total investment for the project is $136.1 million, covering Al Quoz Industrial Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and the area between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road.
The first phase established sewage and stormwater drainage networks covering 155 hectares and 123 plots. Dubai Municipality laid a total of 15 kilometers of sewage pipelines, with diameters ranging from 160 mm to 1600 mm; simultaneously, it developed an integrated stormwater drainage network totaling 14 kilometers, with pipe diameters ranging from 200 mm to 3000 mm. The total project area spans 1600 hectares, covering over 1507 plots.
Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, stated that this sewage project is one of the key strategic initiatives to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and operational readiness of the emirate's infrastructure system, aiming to support Dubai's continuous urban and population growth. The project will enhance the appeal of the Al Quoz Creative Zone as a vibrant hub for economic and investment activities.
According to Dubai Municipality, this project is part of the emirate-wide sewage system development plan, aiming to transform the system into a more sustainable, innovative, and efficient network. The project aligns with the $30 billion Tasreef stormwater drainage development plan. Tasreef is the region's largest unified rainwater harvesting system, designed to increase drainage capacity by 700% over the next 100 years.
Adel Mohammed Al Marzouqi, CEO of the Waste and Sewage Agency at Dubai Municipality, pointed out that this sewage project helps improve the efficiency and flow of the stormwater drainage system in the Al Quoz Creative Zone, reducing waterlogging and thereby ensuring the continuity of services and commercial operations.
