Light at the end of the tunnel

Al Salam Tunnel’s upper intersection (Contract 3) near Khalifa Park and the Ministries complex has now opened. This key milestone is the second phase in a series of 4 carefully planned openings in the Al Salam Street Project. This is inline with the Municipality’s ongoing efforts to gradually open surface and bypass roads leading to the full completion of the project.

Contract 3 is overseen by the construction company Nurol. The dewatering services for this contract consisted of over 150 Deep Wells installed and operated by the Khansaheb Sykes Abu Dhabi branch who were there from the outset.

Contract 3 has reached an impressive 88% completion rate, stretching from Al Salam-Al Saada Intersection up to Al Salam Street- Hazza Bin Zayed Street Intersection. The 711 m tunnel, consists of four lanes with an estimated capacity of 6,000 vehicles per hour for each traffic direction.

The successful completion of the Tunnel structure also clearly demonstrates Khansaheb Sykes’ expertise within the Dewatering and Ground Water Control for such a large project.

Our unrivalled specialist experience for dewatering within the Middle East goes back more than back over 35 years ensuring we always supply the optimal dewatering solution for any construction job no matter how big or how small.
