Mariam Abdalla Ali Alsuwaidi | Atiq Ahmad Aldosari [2]
Abstract: This article explores Dubai Electricity and Water Authority?s DEWA efforts to align with the sustainability goals of the United Arab Emirates, especially in the context of The Year of Sustainability declared for 2023. DEWAs Transmission Power Division has introduced fully precast substations, shedding light on the significance of pre-catalytic converters pre-cats in sustainability efforts. The article discusses the multiple benefits of pre-cats, including reduced emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and increased catalytic converter lifespan. Moreover, it delves into the advantages of precast concrete structures, highlighting their role in reducing construction periods, enhancing cost efficiency, and ensuring high-quality control. By examining the successful implementation of fully precast DEWA substations, this article demonstrates how such initiatives contribute to the broader vision of sustainability set forth by HH. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for 2023.
