Stormwater catchment remodelling after the 2021 rainfall event
412 boreholes over reclaimed and natural ground
Integrated public realm and utility corridor design
Key insights generated from historical data
Derived from the governed knowledge base
- Drainage surcharge patterns here match 6 coastal projects across the Gulf and Red Sea.
- Foundation solutions on reclaimed ground reused from Abu Dhabi Airport Development reduced design iteration by an estimated 4 weeks.
- Shoreline erosion rates are 2.1× the regional median, informing the revetment design life.
