Mohammed Hassan Al Mahroos, the leading provider of tools and equipment to construction, industrial, air-conditioning and specialised engineering projects in the Kingdom of Bahrain and the GCC, has recently announced the completion of its works at the Dilmunia Canal project.
These works included seawater pumping into the canal, and the installation and operation of several other water features, such as the seawater-operated musical fountains, waterfalls, lighting and sound systems.
M.H. Al Mahroos had previously signed a contract to provide pumps, which were supplied by Flygt, the leading Sweden-based submersible pumps’ manufacturer, to pump seawater into Dilmunia Canal.
The company has also been awarded the contract for the design and supply of illuminated musical fountains, which are installed in the canal with a control room for remote operation. M.H. Al Mahroos imported the fountains through the German-based company OASE Living Water, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fountain technology.
The signing of both contracts with M.H. Al Mahroos reflected the longstanding confidence it has in the market as a representative of key international water technology manufacturers, and the high competence of the company’s engineering team.
Additionally, M.H. Al Mahroos signed an agreement with Wikkid Productions, a Bahraini company that specialises in entertainment and artistic production, in order to acquire and license the use of international music content in the canal and fountains, adding to the aesthetic and audio-visual glow at the site.
The company takes pride in this key achievement, as Dilmunia Canal is considered the longest water channel on the island, varying in width from 15 metres to 35 metres, and stretching to 1.7 kilometres in length.
With its musical fountains, and it's light and sound effects, the Dilmunia Canal offers breath-taking landscapes filled with joy, fun, beauty, luxury and upscale entertainment.
The fountains at the canal are operated through a state of-the-art technology, which is developed by OASE Living Water, and depends on the decentralisation of pumping the water through a group of waterjets with different and distinct water flow nozzles, while it is integrated with LED water lighting system and linked to a sound system in harmony with the movement of the water.
The entire operating system is controlled by a central computer programme that is installed in the control room, which is used to manage the canal.
This system achieves several important advantages, such as significant savings in operational electrical energy, ensuring the safety of the canal’s visitors, protecting the environment by utilising seawater and equipment made to suit the high salinity marine environment, in addition to the dazzling shows and choreographies
On the occasion of opening Dilmunia Canal, Talal Al Mahroos, Manager in Executive Management at M.H. Al Mahroos, said: “We are delighted with this achievement of providing the seawater pumps in the canal and the installation of fountains, lighting and sound systems in record time and with high professionalism.
“This has been accomplished thanks to our qualified engineers and the technical support we received from the manufacturers, as well as the cooperation of the main contractor of the Dilmunia Canal project and the support of the project owner.
We will be partners in the continued success of the project by operating and maintaining the fountains and audio-visual systems.”
