This package (T01) is one of the three packages making up the deep tunnel sewer linking the northern part of Abu Dhabi Island to the mainland. The deep sewer tunnel will have a total lenght of 42 km long. The 2 other packages include the construction of a sewer tunnel from the Mussafah area to Mafraq (T01) and a sewer tunnel from Mafraq to Al Wathba (T03).
