Al Ain City Municipality has completed the Box Culvert Project on Tahnoun bin Mohammed Street in the Al-Towayya area, achieving 100% completion. The project aims to enhance the efficiency of rainwater drainage networks and improve water flow within the school district and several surrounding residential neighborhoods and urban roads.
Box culverts are concrete tunnel-like structures used for water drainage, including rainwater and flood runoff. This project will directly contribute to reducing pressure on the rainwater drainage network, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall.
The project includes the construction of a box culvert with a total length of 2,390 meters, designed with a capacity of 20 cubic meters per second. It is considered one of the vital infrastructure projects implemented by the Municipality as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen infrastructure and provide effective and sustainable solutions to the problem of rainwater accumulation, helping protect residential neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for Al Ain residents.
The implementation required 2,000 hours of continuous work with zero work injuries, reflecting the Municipality’s commitment to upholding safety standards while delivering developmental infrastructure projects in line with the highest international benchmarks.
The Municipality confirmed adherence to the highest quality and safety standards during construction. The culvert, extending 2,600 meters in length and 4.5 meters in depth with a capacity of 20 cubic meters per second, will significantly ease the load on Al Ain’s rainwater drainage network, particularly during heavy rainfall.
The project aims to address water accumulation challenges in the Al-Towayya area, especially around the school district, while improving drainage performance during the rainy season and alleviating pressure on networks across multiple neighborhoods and urban roads.
This initiative reflects the Municipality’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure and preparedness for climate change and unexpected weather conditions. The box culvert project is one of the key infrastructure projects implemented to provide sustainable, effective solutions to rainwater accumulation, thereby protecting neighborhoods and improving the quality of life for the city’s residents.
