Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) completed the natural gas network project and a main line extending from Emirates Road (Al Arqoub area) all the way to the city of Al Hamriyah - East, to deliver the natural gas network to residential and commercial areas, with a length of 64 kilometres and a cost of 10.5 million dirhams.
More than 1,131 beneficiaries from various sectors in the city of Al Hamriyah will benefit from this project, in implementation of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to deliver natural gas services to various regions in the Emirate of Sharjah.
Engineer Ibrahim Al Balgouni, Director of the Natural Gas Department at the Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA), explained that the project has been completed. The length of the main line is 17.47 km and the inlet network are 46.5 km. Gas has begun to be delivered to the residents, and the natural gas line will serve all sectors in the city of Hamriyah.
He pointed out that the natural gas network and the new main line will contribute to providing quality services, supporting the expansion of the region and enhancing the quality of life, noting that the natural gas network and pumping stations operate according to the best technical specifications and the highest safety and security systems are taken into account in the implementation of natural gas projects.
The authority’s plan aims to reach the natural gas network to all regions in Sharjah, and in this context, continuous studies are being conducted to establish stations and implement extensions in the city of Sharjah in order to provide natural gas services to all regions and expansions in the city of Sharjah and the Eastern Region in Kalba and Khorfakkan.
He stressed that the number of subscribers to natural gas services in the Emirate of Sharjah is constantly increasing, and the authority is keen to encourage Sharjah residents to use natural gas as an alternative fuel to benefit from the multiple benefits it achieves compared to using liquefied gas (cylinders), as it contributes to preserving the environment and is available at all hours of the day and achieves safety and security.
He highlighted that the authority applies the highest and most accurate specifications and standards of quality and safety in network extensions, in addition to its competitive prices compared to using cylinders.
He added that the necessary procedures have been facilitated to enable subscribers to benefit from the services of the natural gas network, noting that the authority’s strategic plan includes continuing to implement natural gas projects in all regions, whether commercial, industrial or residential sectors, and the work teams of the Natural Gas Department are working hard to ensure access. This service is vital to every subscriber and makes the most of the benefits of natural gas.
