Connecting new districts to Dubai’s smart drainage network.
Dubai Municipality has successfully completed a major infrastructure project connecting Nad Al Sheba 3 to the emirate’s primary sewerage and rainwater drainage system. The new network supports approximately 300 plots across 340 hectares and is part of Dubai’s commitment to sustainable, resilient urban development.
Boosted efficiency with smart maintenance design
The AED 277 million initiative includes nearly 24 km of sewer lines (200–800 mm in diameter) and 11 km of household connections, improving public health and enabling easier future maintenance. The project also adds a powerful 4,000‑litres‑per‑second rainwater pumping station, and a gravity-based drainage pipeline running over 31 km (250–1,500 mm diameter). This infrastructure ensures effective stormwater management and flood prevention during heavy rains.
High-capacity pumps safeguard against flooding
Engr. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Dubai Municipality’s Director-General, emphasized that this project is central to two of the emirate’s largest infrastructure programs, Tasreef, a AED 30 billion rainwater drainage upgrade, and an AED 80 billion sewerage enhancement strategy. He stressed that delivering world-class infrastructure is vital to supporting Dubai’s global ambitions and protecting its residents for the next century.
Strategic investment secures Dubai’s long-term readiness
This development is aligned with Dubai’s forward‑looking vision to connect every neighborhood to a smart, climate-ready utility network. Smart engineering, advanced solutions, and strategic planning demonstrate how the emirate continues to set benchmarks in urban sustainability.
Strategic investment secures Dubai’s long-term readiness
By integrating Nad Al Sheba 3 into the main system, Dubai Municipality is reinforcing its commitment to infrastructure that is efficient, resilient, and capable of meeting future environmental challenges. The project underscores the emirate’s proactive stance in public health, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure excellence solidifying Dubai’s status as a leader in smart city development
