Lindenberg’s water and drainage division has won the water transmission contract linking the Sas Al Nakheel (UAN) junction to Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi.

Under the $157 million contract from the Abu Dhabi Transmission and Despatch Company (Transco), a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (Adwea), Lindenberg will provide the design, engineering, supply and construction, testing and commissioning of onshore and offshore ductile iron and carbon steel pipelines complete with valves and fittings. In addition, it will also provide the associated instrumentation, electrical, civil and earth works. 
Construction work was scheduled to start last month and be completed within an 18-month period.
Located 500 m off the coast of Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Island is a $27 billion world-class masterplanned development infrastructure comprising investment opportunities in residential, business, cultural and leisure sectors, which are expected to be completed by 2018.
