Al Ain City Municipality has completed 50% of the works on the box culvert project aimed at enhancing the efficiency of rainwater drainage networks along Tahnoon Bin Mohammed Street in the Al Towayya area.
The project, which is expected to be completed by next August, aims to address the problem of rainwater accumulation in Al Towayya—particularly around the school district—and improve its drainage. This will help reduce the load on drainage networks in residential neighbourhoods and urban roads.
Eng. Musaab Al Kayoumi, Project Manager at Al Ain City Municipality, stated that the project involves constructing a box culvert with a total length of 2.6 kilometres and a capacity of up to 20 cubic meters per second. It is considered one of the vital projects being implemented by the Municipality as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen infrastructure and provide effective, sustainable solutions to the problem of rainwater accumulation, thereby protecting residential neighbourhoods and improving the quality of life for city residents.
He explained that the project is progressing according to schedule while adhering to the highest standards of quality and safety in execution and will directly help reduce pressure on the rainwater drainage network, especially during periods of heavy rainfall.
It is worth noting that box culverts are concrete tunnel-like structures shaped like a box, used for water drainage—including rainwater—especially in flood channels.
