As per the new law, before executing road projects in areas where cables have been laid, contractors will have to get a no-objection from Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA), which will be issued on the basis of studies and cable maps.
Al Waleed bin Khadem, director-general of SEWA, has said that the law is aimed at ensuring protection to the electricity, water and gas networks in the emirate of Sharjah.
Violating companies could face fines of up to Dh800,000, besides the material cost, said Bin Khadem.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Bin Khadem said that the law, approved by His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, comes in the wake of several instances of power failure reported to be caused by unorganised road construction work carried out by contracting companies in various parts of Sharjah.
Based on the new law, SEWA will penalise the companies that cause damages to power cables. Article 10 of the law stipulates payment of compensation by the contractors found causing damage to cables.
In case of repeated violation, the contracting companies will have to pay an additional 30 per cent of the compensation amount.
The SEWA official has warned all contractors carrying out building and road construction projects to be cautious while carrying out digging work.
He pointed out that the power failure that lasted for nearly four hours in Al Nahda area in June this year was due to damage of the cable caused by a contracting company carrying out building construction project.
