DEWA Approval Services in Dubai
Before connecting or activating loads for electricity, water, and other mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services in Dubai, you need to obtain DEWA Approval. Providing you with complete DEWA approval service for your residential, commercial, and industrial projects, Structural Solutions processes quickly, compliantly, and conveniently all over Dubai.
What is DEWA Approval?
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority issues a DEWA Approval certifying that the electrical and water systems in a project comply with Dubai standards, including safety and infrastructure, and that the Authority will provide utility services to that project. This Approval is necessary for new utility services and for changes to existing utility services.
This approval shows that all electrical layouts, water supply service and connections, and their load and water services have been completed in compliance with DEWA regulations, and that the utility services for that project can be safely activated.
