1.0 INTENT OF PROJECT

The purpose of the Shuweihat Water Transmission Scheme is to transfer water from the
new Power and Desalination Plant at Shuweihat to Mussafah and Unit-IV through 2No.
DN 1600 pipelines and an Intermediate Pumping Station at Mirfa. The design
transmission capacity is 100 MGD with an ultimate increase to 150 MGD. Note all
references to MGD refer to Million Imperial Gallons per Day.

2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORKS

The complete project comprises the following main and optional works (Refer to
Schedule of Prices, Volume 3 of 4 for details of main and optional works)

(1) Two DN 1600 pipelines running from the new Power and Desalination Plant at
Shuweihat to the Intermediate Pumping Station at Mirfa, herein referred to as Lot
‘A’.

(2) Two DN 1600 pipelines running from the Intermediate Pumping Station at Mirfa to
Mussafah Pumping Station together with one DN 1600 pipeline running from
Mussafah to Unit-IV, herein referred to as Lot ‘B’.

(3) An Intermediate Pumping station at Mirfa, herein referred to as Lot ‘C’.

(4) Storage reservoirs, water distribution pumping station at Mussafah and water
distribution pipelines, herein referred to as Lot ‘D’.

(5) Associated miscellaneous works.

3.0 LOCATION OF WORKS

The project lies within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, between the new
Power and Desalination Plant at Shuweihat and the future pumping station at Mussafah.

The new Shuweihat Power and Desalination Plant will be located on the Arabian Gulf
approx. 250km north west of Abu Dhabi Island. The pumping station located within the
Shuweihat Power and Desalination Plant is outside the scope of these works.

The 2No. DN 1600 pipeline route as shown on the CONTRACT drawings runs from the
Shuweihat Power and Desalination Plant in south easterly direction for approx. 5 km to
the main Abu Dhabi–Sila Highway. The pipelines will then turn in a north easterly
direction following the coast, to the north of the main highway, in close proximity to the
route of the proposed 400kV overhead power lines and crossing the Jebel Dhana access
road. Near Ruwais area, the pipelines cross the main highway and continue along the
southern side of the dual carriageway following closely the existing 220kV and proposed
power overhead lines. The pipelines then cross the main highway before Baynoona and
continue along the northern side of the highway following the existing and proposed
power overhead lines. The pipelines then turn in a north westerly direction towards the
coast until they reach the Intermediate Pumping Station at Mirfa. Along the pipeline route
branches are to be made for future connections.

From the Intermediate Pumping Station at Mirfa 2No. DN 1600 pipelines run towards the
south and then cross the Abu Dhabi-Sila highway. Approximately 8km from Mirfa

ADWEA Shuweihat Water Transmission Scheme
Supply Division CONTRACT No. N-00-0173

Pumping Station the pipeline route turns East. It then follows the route parallel to the
existing 400kV overhead power lines. Along the pipeline route branches are to be made
for future connections. The pipeline route continues on the south side of Abu Dhabi-Sila
Highway. Approximately 80 km from Mirfa Pumping Station the pipeline route falls in
between an existing gas corridor and the 400kV overhead line. The pipeline then follows
the existing gas lines for a distance of about 6 km before it crosses the Abu Dhabi-Sila
highway.

After crossing the highway, the pipeline route continues on the north side of the highway.
Near Salmiya pump station connections shall be made to the existing lines. From Salmiya
pump station the pipeline route continues parallel to the existing 11kV overhead line and
the existing DN 900 water pipeline up to the Mussafah truck road interchange. The 2No.
DN 1600 pipelines shall be terminated at the proposed Mussafah Pumping Station site
near Mussafah. Near Mussafah truck road interchange one of the DN 1600 pipeline shall
be provided with 1 No. DN 1600 branch line and shall be continued up to Unit-IV
reservoirs. The route of the DN 1600 pipeline runs in parallel to the existing DN 900 water
pipeline. At approximately 1 km westwards, the pipeline crosses the Abu Dhabi-Sila
highway and then approaches Unit-IV.

Outside the Unit-IV boundary, the DN 1600 pipeline shall branch into 2No. DN 900
pipelines. One branch shall be connected to the existing DN 900 pipeline from Um-Al Nar
and the other shall be connected to the existing DN 900 line from Unit -III.

The majority of the pipeline route from Shuweihat to Mussafah lies in Sabkha areas and
areas with a high water table. In these areas, the pipelines will be installed above
existing grade levels and accommodated in earth bunds. Provisions such as drainage
culverts and ducts under the pipelines have to be made to avoid standing water and
flooding of the areas between various pipeline bunds and the main highway.

From Mussafah pumping station site, two distribution pipelines are to be constructed, one
to supply Mussafah and the second to Al Wathba.
