Abu Dhabi’s sewage system will be the focus of Megastructures later this month on National Geographic Abu Dhabi.
The 60-minute programme, which premieres at 21.00 (UAE time) on June 13, follows a team of engineers as they race to build a massive sewer system beneath the streets of the UAE capital.
"Abu Dhabi's sewer network - built thirty years ago to service the needs of a small town - has reached bursting point,” according to the programme’s promo. “This film follows a team of larger than life engineers and construction workers locked in a race against time to build a replacement sewer beneath the city.
"It will be an extraordinary feat - a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels making up a massive sewer network, designed by the Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC) to save Abu Dhabi's citizens from a diabolic deluge."
