The Max Bogl company constructed phases 4, 5 and 6 of the Mushrif Water Reservoir in Dubai, creating the world's largest drinking water reservoir. The $600 million AED project involved building three new water storage tanks with a combined capacity of 820 million liters. Over 26 months, the construction consumed large amounts of materials and utilized up to 2,000 laborers working around the clock. Safety protocols ensured no accidents occurred during the 5 million hours of work to complete the reservoir on schedule and provide crucial water supply to nearby districts of Dubai.

3 On the outskirts of Dubai the world’s largest drinking water reservoir has been built by Max Bogl. Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) have invested approx­imately 600 mil- lion AED in the construction of three new tanks with a capacity of 820 million litres of drinking water. The Reservoir is supplied with water from the desalination plant located in the Jebel Ali district 35 km away. The new Reservoir is crucial for the water supply to the close-by districts of Dubai. During a construction period of approximately 26 months the project has consumed 300,000 m³ of concrete and 30,000 to of reinforced steel. 5,000 m of pipes with diam- eters of DN 900 up to DN 1,200 have been installed.

4 The reinforced concrete Reser- voir is built on a 33 km drain- age system. The purpose of it is to observe leak tightness and to drain potentially accumu- lated water in order to prevent structural damages. Each of the three storage tanks measures 375 m x 175 m with a depth of 5,5 m. The Tanks are partitioned into 4 compart­ ments, which are further divid- ed into 8 smaller sections by 9,500 running metres of run- ning walls. Construction Concept 9,500 m running walls 30,000 to of reinforced steel was installed.
5 New pipes and chambers were connected with the existing network. 20,000 pieces filigran elements 4,500 pieces of precast beams and 6,000 columns were erected. One million cubic metres of desert sand was excavated.
6 In order to ensure leak tight- ness 40 km of waterstop and 300,000 m² PVC membranes were installed. After com- pletion of the shell and core works all tanks underwent a series of leak tightness tests, with 65 million litres of water. A network of approximately 100 fully automated valves enabled the supervision of the supply and drain of drinking water from a centralised con- trol centre. Up-to-date measuring instru- ments allow a fully automated control of water quality, water pressure and water levels in the tanks as well as a CCTV sys- tem covering the entire site.
7 Tight Program To achieve the Program 2,000 labourers were work- ing 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. At the peak of the construction 13 Tower cranes were operating with outside temperatures of up to 50°C. In order to provide the construction site with the necessary daily quan- tity of 1,000 m³ concrete, a batching plant was erected directly on site. Safety To assure safety for the entire work force throughout all construction phases was in- deed a highly challenging task. Due to regular site inspec- tions carried out by safety and health protection experts and safety training provided for all labourers and employees, 5 million working hours were performed without any inter- ruptions caused by security- related accidents.
