A Diligent Engineer …
Abdullah explained that his graduation
from university was the first step in
his practical life, and that there is a
strong relationship between graduation
from university and his career life.
He also added that education should
not be stopped after graduation from

important future projects is
to continue studying to obtain the MBA
certificate.
While studying, he had a role in one of
the major researches in the country,
which is his participation in a research
conducted on self-pressure concrete,
which is a different type of concrete
than the one we are used to deal
with. This concrete has the ability to
penetrate in the most complicated
regions. It is characterized by immediate
hardening after casting, which boosts
the firmness of the building. It has the
following 3 important characteristics :
1. Very Highly Operational
2. No
occurrence
of
granular
segregation.
3. Self-pressured, does not need
vibrator.
The outcome of this participation was
the establishment of a special code
for the UAE to use local resources in
producing this type of concrete.
This was the academic side. As for
the practical side, he is currently the
supervisor of several projects executed
by Al Ain distribution company, the
most important of which are:
1. Rehabilitation and substitution
of old networks with new ones,
and installation of water supply
extensions to houses in different
regions in Al Ain City.
2. Stage three project at the UAE
University, where he supervises the
installation of water supply networks.
3. Water supply project. It is located in
different parts in Al Ain City and is
a project for supplying water to the
beneficiary category, and providing
an electronic water meter for each
beneficiary.
4. Supervising the execution of water
works in different regions in Al Ain
city within the framework of the joint
project between Al Ain Distribution
Company and Al Ain municipality.

explained to us his perspective, stating
that a person should base on his past in
building his present and future. He must
