What we do

Three divisions, one contractor


Power networks, water networks, and the building maintenance that keeps them running — delivered by teams on our own payroll.

Why clients choose us

Approved to work on energised networks


Al Maidana is a UAE national contractor delivering engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance across the energy and water sectors of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Since 2001 we have built, energised and maintained the networks that keep the city running — from 33 kV substations and underground cable systems to potable water mains and pumping stations.

A directly approved utility contractor

We hold contracts awarded directly by TAQA Distribution — not only sub-contracts. That includes live-network maintenance, 11 kV reinforcement and substation earthing across the Central and Eastern regions.

Competent persons on staff

Fifteen of our engineers, jointers and safety officers hold TAQA competency cards — including HV and LV permit receivers, a certified cable jointer, and a civil engineer authorised for live water-network tie-ins up to DN560.

We test and commission in-house

Our own calibrated high-voltage laboratory — VLF, partial discharge, transformer turns ratio, protection relay testing — means commissioning is done by our own engineers, so it does not wait on a third party.

Power and water under one contract

We are prequalified with TAQA Distribution for both electricity and water. We self-perform the civil, mechanical, electrical and control works, which removes interface risk on mixed infrastructure packages.

Scope of works
