T-T Flow® Valves Enhance Drainage System at Jebel Ali International Airport
Jebel Ali International Airport in Dubai, set to become the world's largest airport upon completion, represents another high-profile international construction project that has selected and approved wastewater Double Hinged Flap Valves from Cheshire-based T-T Flow®. The airport, with a projected cost exceeding $8 billion, will feature six parallel runways and six concourses, designed to accommodate more than 120 million passengers and over 12 million tons of cargo annually.
Client Requirements
Given the scale of the airport, an extensive storm and surface water drainage system was required to efficiently manage wastewater. Key considerations for component selection included reliability, durability, and resistance to environmental conditions. The drainage system needed robust solutions to prevent reverse flow at critical outfall points.

- Lightweight ductile iron frame and door for enhanced durability
- Double hinge mechanism ensuring optimal seating performance
- Anti-tamper stainless steel hinge pins for security
- Self-lubricating copper alloy bushes to minimize maintenance
- Fusion-bonded epoxy coating for superior corrosion resistance
