6/10/25, 10:00 AM Abu Dhabi Department of Energy completes remediation project for gas systems in buildings - Aletihad News Center
Al Qubaisi said, “Safety is a collective effort and a shared responsibility among all stakeholders in this sector. Building

owners play a vital role in maintaining the safety and security of the community. We began our inspection and

remediation project in August 2023 and have successfully inspected over 3,100 buildings across the Emirate.”

“I would like to express my gratitude to the building owners in Abu Dhabi for their significant efforts and cooperation,
which enabled us to focus our efforts on achieving a safer, more stable, and more sustainable energy sector for the

Emirate.”

The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy revealed the results of the Gas Systems Remediation Project, announcing the

successful completion of work on over 2,400 buildings, including more than 200 buildings classified as high-risk,

which were addressed urgently.

Additionally, 550 previously undetected gas leaks were identified and repaired, and all gas filling lines were relocated
outside the buildings, achieving a 100 percent completion rate.

The project also included the replacement of more than 450 gas tanks and control panels, as well as the installation
of over 10,000 gas leak detectors inside kitchens.

Executive Director of the Petroleum Products Regulatory Affairs Sector at DoE, Eng Ahmed Alsheebani, said, “Abu
Dhabi continues to lead in ensuring the safe use of gas systems, recognising gas as a vital resource that impacts

various aspects of daily life and plays a key role, alongside clean and renewable energy sources, in supporting the

stability of the energy sector. I urge all Abu Dhabi residents to remain vigilant when dealing with gas; through
collective efforts, we will continue to build a safer and more sustainable community.”

Alsheebani extended his appreciation to the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED), the Abu Dhabi
Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA), the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), Abu Dhabi

Police, the Abu Dhabi Civil Defense Authority (ADCDA), and the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disaster

Management Center, all of whom contributed effectively to the implementation of this campaign.

According to the Executive Regulations for Gas Works in Buildings, property owners are required to sign an annual
maintenance contract with a gas operator permitted by the Department of Energy – Abu Dhabi.

They must also undergo regular inspections and maintenance conducted by an independent, DoE-approved third-
party inspection company.
