en.Wedoany.com Reported - The UAE National Marine Dredging Group (NMDC Group) announced in June 2026 that its wholly-owned subsidiary, NMDC Infra, has signed a contract with TAQA Water Solutions, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), to construct an emergency lagoon with a capacity of 1 million cubic meters in the Abu Dhabi region. The project is valued at AED 288 million (approximately USD 78.42 million) and is expected to be delivered within 24 months.
NMDC Group is a leading integrated marine engineering, dredging, and infrastructure contractor in the UAE, listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX: NMDC), with operations covering dredging, land reclamation, marine engineering construction, and energy infrastructure. TAQA is a comprehensive energy company controlled by the Abu Dhabi government, with businesses spanning electricity and water production, transmission and distribution, and oil and gas exploration and production, with total assets exceeding USD 200 billion. TAQA Water Solutions is a TAQA subsidiary focused on water infrastructure solutions.
According to NMDC's statement to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, the scope of work includes constructing an emergency lagoon with a capacity of 1 million cubic meters, including inlet and outlet structures, installing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, as well as installing pumps, valves, and related mechanical systems. An emergency lagoon is a hydraulic facility used for temporary storage of excess water resources or emergency discharge of water bodies, typically deployed to address sudden events such as heavy rain, floods, or industrial accidents, effectively preventing urban waterlogging and environmental pollution while ensuring the safe operation of water systems. The HDPE pipes used in this project offer advantages such as corrosion resistance and long service life, and are widely applied in water conservancy and wastewater treatment projects.
Upon completion, the project will enhance the reliability and efficiency of Abu Dhabi's water management infrastructure while supporting its long-term sustainable development goals. As a key component of the Abu Dhabi 2030 Vision, this project helps strengthen the region's capacity to respond to extreme weather events and ensure urban water security.
