Dubai South Stormwater Tunnel and Drainage Project

Planned

An advanced stormwater drainage system will be developed in Dubai South's residential district, including the construction of a new secondary stormwater tunnel connecting Dubai South’s drainage network to Dubai Municipality’s deep tunnel system via Expo Road. The project aims to improve stormwater and surface runoff management, minimize flooding risks, and safeguard roads, buildings, and public assets. It will reduce construction and operating costs for pumping stations by 20% and includes deep tunnel infrastructure with a maximum flow rate capacity of approximately four cubic metres per second. This initiative is part of the broader Tasreef project, a long-term stormwater drainage development programme led by Dubai Municipality.
