UAE: The Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure and Dar Alwd Construction have strengthened their collaboration with a visit to a Qatar PRC manufacturing facility, advancing the adoption of durable, eco-friendly materials to support the UAE’s climate-neutral infrastructure goals by 2050.
In a significant step towards enhancing sustainable infrastructure in the UAE, the Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure (MOEI) and Dar Alwd Construction (DAW) have reinforced their partnership during a visit to a Polymer Resin Concrete (PRC) manufacturing facility in Qatar. This strategic engagement aims to leverage innovative technologies to address the pressing needs of the nation’s infrastructure development.
During their visit, officials from both organisations explored advanced manufacturing processes, quality assurance protocols, and sustainable practices in the production of PRC. Known for its impressive attributes—including a lifespan of over 100 years, corrosion resistance, and reduced environmental impact—PRC represents a substantial leap forward in construction materials. Tarek Musbah Abdulrahman, General Manager of DAW, emphasised the technology’s role in eliminating inefficiencies typically associated with traditional materials, thereby lowering lifecycle costs and maintenance demands.
The MOEI has articulated its commitment to integrating these innovative materials into future infrastructure projects. A spokesperson noted the ministry’s strategic focus on building “resilient, future-ready assets” to align with the UAE’s long-term development vision. This emphasis on utilising sustainable technologies mirrors recent trends across the region, where there is an increasing recognition of the need for eco-efficient construction solutions.
Highlighting recent advancements, the MOEI participated in the 2025 Innovation Week, where DAW showcased its PRC technology, further emphasising its commitment to sustainability. This event illustrated the growing momentum behind eco-friendly construction practices in the UAE, resonating with global initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with the building sector.
In conjunction with private sector partnerships, the ministry has been proactive in exploring various innovative measures that enhance operational efficiency. For instance, participation in the Big 5 Global event spotlighted AI applications in project management and the introduction of modern technologies that bolster energy and water efficiency. These initiatives underscore the UAE’s strategic positioning as a leader in sustainable infrastructure development, where both governmental and private entities are increasingly aligned.
Moreover, the ongoing collaboration between the MOEI and DAW aligns with the UAE’s broader ambition of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. A critical component of this initiative includes the promotion of sustainable building practices within infrastructure development, which has been underscored in various forums, including COP28. Insights gathered from these events highlight the potential for significant reductions in carbon emissions through the implementation of sustainable solutions, significantly impacting the construction sector’s contribution to overall greenhouse gas outputs.
As the UAE continues to invest in transformative infrastructure solutions, the collaboration between the Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure and Dar Alwd Construction stands as a model for future projects. Their joint efforts not only promote the adoption of advanced materials like PRC but also reflect a deeper commitment to fostering an environmentally responsible construction sector capable of supporting the UAE’s ambitious growth objectives.
The long-term vision articulated by both the MOEI and DAW signals a pivotal shift in how infrastructure projects will be approached in the coming years. By focusing on sustainability and the integration of innovative construction technologies, the UAE is setting a blueprint for future developments that align with global standards for environmental stewardship and efficiency.
