Borouge has showcased its contribution to the largest water pipeline in the United Arab Emirates at international construction show Big 5.
Borouge joined Utico to lay the longest PE100 water transmission pipeline in the region showcased at Big 5, providing polyethylene solutions to make pipes for the company’s water transmission pipeline project connecting four emirates Ras Al Khaimah, Um Al Quwain, Ajman and Sharjah.

The 55km pipeline, which ranges in size from 1,200mm to1,400mm diameter, has a peak capacity of 50MIGD and will eventually serve up to 900,000 people.
Ahmed Al Shamsi, Senior Vice President at Borouge, said: "We are pleased that our innovative solutions are being used by Utico, one of our key technical partners in the UAE, for their ground-breaking water transmission pipeline. This is a real testament that our solutions are reliable, sustainable and create value to businesses across the value chain,”
Abdulatif AlMulla, Director of Utico, said: “Due to the large diameter the wall thickness of the 1,400mm SDR13.6 pipes is 103mm, the highest transmission pipe wall thickness that has been produced in the region. They could only be produced using the extra low sag variant of Borouge’s BorSafe HE3490-LS-H grade.”
