DUBAI, March 14: The Pakistani engineers are performing exceptionally well in the electricity sector in Dubai.

A rapid development work is currently going on in Dubai and the engineers especially those from Pakistan have been assigned the task of meeting the electricity requirements of the ambitious projects that are coming up in Dubai.

According to Syed Shah Nawaz Ahmed, an electrical engineer who is working with the Siemens Pakistan Engineering Company’s Power Transmission and Distribution, Project Office Dubai, there are currently 18 sub-stations in Dubai and of these 12 are with the Siemens Pakistan.

“The remaining six sub-stations are with the Emirates Electrical Engineering (EEE)—a local trading company”, he pointed out in an interview with the APP.

Shah Nawaz was of the view that because of the good performance of the engineers from Pakistan, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) showed confidence in Siemens Pakistan by giving the contract of the major chunk of the work.

He said that the construction work has started for what was termed as the tallest building in the world—the Burj Dubai.

Shah Nawaz pointed out that the Siemens Pakistan Engineering Company is constructing two electricity sub-station for this very project—the contract for one of these was given earlier while the other one has been obtained recently.

He said that another sub-station is being constructed for the project that has been named as Dubai Mall where a ‘Disney World’ is coming up. A project in the first phase of the ‘Disney World’ has been completed while the remaining work is continuing, Shah Nawaz said.—APP
