A coastal water utility in the UAE was expanding its seawater desalination and associated network to ease water scarcity; the client was an entity under the local water authority, and the EPC was carried out by an international water-engineering contractor. In a desert climate, the seawater is high-salinity and high-temperature. The potable network also imposes strict hygiene and anti-contamination requirements, involving hygienic approval and material compliance. The site works mainly in English and Arabic, and Ramadan and public holidays noticeably affect schedule rhythm.
