Musanada has announced that it has completed several projects worth $15.8m in Al Ain. The projects were completed in co-ordination with Al Ain City Municipality.
According to a statement, the projects serves Al Ain city and the residential and commercial areas near the highway connecting the UAE to Oman. Musanada notes the projects will help increase economic benefits and returns, as well as enhance tourist attraction to the region and Al Ain.
The scope of work included the construction of walkways and a cycling path, in addition to irrigation works, landscaping, playgrounds, physical fitness equipment, fittings and lighting; ultimately creating a healthy outlet for the area’s residents.
Musanada stated that the project also involved the construction of main and secondary irrigation lines and four treated irrigation water tanks, each of 900cu/m capacity across the eastern sector regions at Mezyad, Al Dhaher, Umm Ghafah and Al Khurair. The works included an auxiliary pumping station, as well as the construction of irrigation pipes to feed the tanks and landscaping works.
The project aims to secure sufficient supplies of recycled water for the irrigation of existing and future vegetation cover, ensuring availability of sufficient water supplies for future and landscaping developments. It will also ensure the sustainable and effective use of water while minimising use of groundwater and full automation of water and control of the irrigation system at the eastern sector, the statement from Musanada explained.
Al Ain City Municipality pointed out that the project aims to stop depletion of fresh groundwater at the eastern sector across the Mezyad, Umm Ghafah and Al Dhaher areas. It also fulfills the needs of landscaping and walkways in line with the urban development witnessed in those areas. This will complement the preliminary findings resulting from the study of the sector’s needs of irrigation treated water, recreational facilities and green spaces, the municipality noted.
