Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) Approval

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) approval is a crucial certification required for electrical and water-related installations within Dubai. This approval ensures that all electrical works meet DEWA’s stringent standards for safety, efficiency, and quality. At Voltronix, we specialize in securing DEWA approvals for various MEP contracting services, ensuring that your projects comply with local regulations and standards.

Requirements for a DEWA Certified Contractor

To obtain DEWA certification, contractors must meet several key requirements. They need to hold a valid trade license and be registered with DEWA. It is essential for the contractor to employ qualified engineers and technicians who are well-versed in DEWA’s standards and regulations. Additionally, a demonstrated history of handling electrical and water installations in compliance with DEWA’s requirements is necessary. Adherence to DEWA’s quality assurance practices and safety standards is also mandatory.

DEWA Approval Process

With regard to substation projects, we have a quick and competent approach. We achieve positive results by complying with the below-mentioned procedures.

The DEWA approval process involves a series of steps to ensure compliance with all regulations. The process begins with the submission of an application to DEWA, accompanied by detailed project plans and specifications.
DEWA will review the submitted documents and may request additional information or modifications if needed. Following this, a site inspection is conducted to verify that the installation aligns with the submitted plans and meets safety standards.
Once the inspection is passed, DEWA issues an approval certificate, allowing the contractor to proceed with the installation.
After the installation is completed, a final inspection is carried out to confirm that everything meets DEWA’s standards.
