SEWA completes maintenance at Al Rahmaniyah natural gas station

 The Natural Gas Department at Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA) has completed comprehensive maintenance work at the pressure reduction station in Al Rahmaniyah, with the aim of increasing operational reliability from 50% to 100% by maintaining and reactivating the station’s backup unit, ensuring uninterrupted natural gas supply to residential, commercial, and industrial areas in accordance with the highest quality and safety standards. 

Engineer Ibrahim Al Balghouni, Director of the Natural Gas Department at SEWA, emphasised that this initiative is part of SEWA’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the natural gas infrastructure in the emirate. 

It also reflects SEWA’s commitment to providing sustainable and secure services which meet the demands of population and urban growth. 

Al Balghouni noted that the maintenance work included inspecting and servicing operational systems and equipment, testing control and pressure systems, ensuring the integrity of pipelines and safety valves, and implementing several approved preventive measures to guarantee optimal station performance. 

A recent report says SEWA, through its Electricity Distribution Department, continues its intensive efforts to implement the electrical network and service connection works in the "Al Qutainah 1" area as part of the project’s first phase. 

This initiative is part of a broader strategic plan aimed at upgrading and expanding the electricity grid to enhance energy stability in the targeted areas.

Engineer Ahmed Al Bass, Deputy Director of the Electricity Distribution Department, confirmed that SEWA has made significant strides in strengthening the energy infrastructure and improving the performance of the electrical grid. As part of the project, six substations have been installed and connected, along with 14 electricity distribution panels, ensuring a stable and efficient power supply. 

Additionally, more than 29 kilometres of electrical cables have been laid. This includes 22.17 kilometres of medium-voltage cables linking the substations and 7.6 kilometres of low-voltage cables to provide power to residential buildings.
