Al Tayer ... Dewa to become a sustainable world-class utility.

Dewa's 'green' vehicle workshop project on track

DUBAI, January 5, 2015

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) said about 75 per cent of the work on its eco-friendly vehicle workshop in Dubai, UAE, has been completed and was on track for launch by the end of March.

The workshop, which is the largest-of-its-kind in the region, is being built at an estimated cost of Dh98 million ($26.6 million) at Al Ruwayyah area of the city. The facility coming up on a 280,761 sq ft area will replace the current unit in Ras Al Khor, said a statement from Dewa.

It has been designed according to the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) criteria of the US Green Building Council Institute, it added.

The facility is crucial for Dewa, which owns a fleet of 3,330 different types of vehicles including light and heavy ones, drilling equipment, and other special equipment, said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the managing director and CEO after visiting the construction site.

Al Tayer reviewed the progress of the construction work at the facility and stressed the importance of adhering to the highest standards of security and safety across all aspects of work.

"This project is part of Dewa’s operational plan and supports the future increase of its fleet of vehicles. We place great importance on the environment in all our projects, whether to produce electricity and water, or in its day-to-day operations," he stated.

It also supports Dewa's vision to become a sustainable world-class utility, added Al Tayer.

The Dubai utility firm said the vehicle workshop includes a unit for light and heavy vehicles, and special equipment. It also boasts of an accident repair workshop, paint shop, washing area, auto car wash, management office, and spare parts stores.

The workshop uses the latest sustainable technologies for lighting, air conditioning, and water use, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
