Abu Dhabi's general services company Musanada said work is progressing as per schedule on four infrastructure projects at Mohammed Bin Zayed City in the UAE capital.

The total construction cost of the projects have been put at Dh650 million ($177 million), including the Dh280-million Z35 Sector project comprising internal roads and infrastructure works for residential plots over a 1.5 million-sq-m area, it stated.

"This significant project is located in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, Abu Dhabi, 20 km to the south of the Abu Dhabi airport, at the Al Mafraq interchange of the Abu Dhabi-Al Ain highway," said Saleh Al Sheibah Al Mazrouei, the acting roads and infrastructure executive director, at Musanada.
 
"The project consists of roads and infrastructure works, including storm water, potable water, and sewerage networks, as well as telecommunications, street lighting, and electricity networks, together with 21 primary substations," noted Al Mazrouei.

This comes as part of its efforts to achieve the objectives of the Abu Dhabi Plan, aiming to provide sustainable infrastructure for the community and economy of the emirate, in line with the best international standards, said Musanada in its statement.

The project is being implemented fully in compliance with the best green sustainability standards for protection of the environment, it added.

The development, which is due for completion by next March, aims to serve 517 residential plots, three schools, and 28 community centres, it added.

Mansour Al Ameri, the project manager of Sector Z35, said the objective is to deliver advanced infrastructure, hence, it is being executed to the highest quality and safety standards for all the infrastructure components.

"Split into three contracts, all progressing as planned, the project is expected to be completed as scheduled next year. The Sector Z35 project has been designed and is being executed in co-operation with Musanada’s strategic partners," stated Al Ameri.

The highest safety and security levels have been taken into account while designing the Sector Z35 project, along with planning sufficient landscapes and making provisions for cycling and pedestrian paths, he added. -TradeArabia News Service
