UAE’s TAQA Water Solutions announces $40.8 million wastewater management Project

TAQA Water Solutions, UAE announced a groundbreaking AED150 million transformative wastewater management project set to redefine infrastructure standards in Al Bahia and Al Sadr.

The world-class development project, awarded to Gulf Contractors Company, reinforces TAQA Water Solutions’ commitment to supporting Abu Dhabi’s urban development strategies and socio-economic growth.

TAQA Water Solutions is set to deliver cutting-edge, solutions that prioritise environmental responsibility and improve the quality of life in the thriving and growing communities of Al Bahia, Al Sader, Al Shaleila and Taweelah.

The project, which was announced during the World Utilities Congress, will see the development of a 9.5 kilometre deep gravity-driven line along with the decommissioning of a number of pumping stations, as a result, minimising energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions in line with the UAE’s sustainability goals. This asset enhancement scheme will significantly increase overall hydraulic capacity to 120,000 m3/day, effectively serving the needs of the rapidly developing areas in Al Bahia and surrounding areas such as Al Sader, Al Shaliela, and Taweelah.

Developed in close collaboration with key stakeholders including Al Dar, Abu Dhabi Housing Authority, and the Department of Municipalities and Transport, the project demonstrates the power of collaboration in achieving long-term sustainability and resource management efficiency in Abu Dhabi. This approach to urban planning ensures that infrastructure development aligns with the needs and aspirations of residents and communities, underpinning Abu Dhabi’s status as the most liveable city in the MENA region according to the Global Liveability Index.
