The Department of Energy – Abu Dhabi (DoE) has announced that it has successfully completed the gas systems remediation
project in buildings with a 100% completion rate.

According to DoE, over 200,000 safe working hours were recorded during the implementation of the programme, which began in
August 2023, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of gas systems across the emirate.

The work was successfully completed on over 2,400 buildings, including more than 200 buildings classified as high-risk, which
were addressed urgently, said the DoE in a statement.

Additionally, 550 previously undetected gas leaks were identified and repaired, and all gas filling lines were relocated outside the
buildings as part of the programme.

It also involved 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.

Dr Saif Saeed Al Qubaisi, Acting Director General of Regulatory Affairs at DoE, 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."
