Since 1997, Elite Construction Group has been providing professional micro tunneling and directional drilling services to the construction industry across the UAE. The group is proud to be one of the leading contractors in the region in this specialized field of engineering.
With an extensive fleet of modern tunneling and boring machines and a dedicated team of experienced personnel and skilled operators, Elite Construction Group has installed more than 150 kilometers of tunnels, pipelines and utility crossings under runways, walkways, highways and seabed.
One of the group's most challenging projects, which formed a strategic part of the infrastructure of the iconic Dubai Water Canal, was the design and construction of 78 utility crossings under the Dubai Water Canal. With lengths of up to 220 meters and a maximum diameter of 1,200 mm, 33 tunnels have been installed with a total length of 7,338 meters using the latest micro-tunneling technology. In addition to the tunnels, 45 cable duct intersections were installed over a combined distance of 12,089 meters using high-capacity directional drilling equipment.
Another recent project involved the construction of a small tunnel in the Abu Dhabi Strategic Tunnel Reinforcement Scheme to facilitate the installation of 3,180 meters of sewage pipes with a diameter of 2.4 metres, with a maximum tunnel length of 660 metres.
