The Project
This is an opportunity to live and work in this exciting city, while developing your career delivering the most ambitious infrastructure scheme in the UAE. With a target completion date of 2033 and significant budget of AED 25 billion (5.2 billion), this ambitious stormwater drainage system initiative aims to enhance Dubai's network capacity by 700% to more than 20 million cubic meters of water per day, addressing the Emirate's needs for the next century. Working in a JV with our strategic partners, this pursuit will provide significant Infrastructure delivery and PMO opportunities for our global Mace colleagues.
The three main areas to enhance the effectiveness of the Emirate's stormwater drainage system include:
- Improvement of infiltration and sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) applications.
- Upgrade of existing stormwater systems in the three major catchment areas of this Dubai wide initiative.
- Proposed new stormwater tunnels across these catchment areas including major link tunnels.
