Diving into Pool Approval in Dubai: Trakhees' Guidelines for a Seamless Swimming Pool Installation

Are you planning to install a swimming pool in your property located in Trakhees jurisdiction? If yes, then you must follow the guidelines set by Trakhees for swimming pool approvals in Dubai. These guidelines are mandatory for all owners, consultants, and contractors who are involved in the swimming pool installation process. A swimming pool should be designed to serve its purpose, be cost-effective, easy to maintain, and enhance the lifestyle of its owners.

Trakhees is a department of Planning and Development that aims to fulfil the Dubai Strategic Plan 2021 vision. It strives to keep up with the escalating development in the sustainable economic development of the emirate and support the comprehensive development of Ports, Customs, and Free Zone Corporation’s overall performance. The department provides high-quality strategic plans that address the latest updates in global and regional innovations, while stimulating creativity and innovation with the latest smart applications to improve the quality of services provided.

Swimming Pools in Dubai are synonymous with world-class quality and the latest technologies and equipment. Top engineering consultants and swimming pool contractors in Dubai offer high-quality, cost-effective pools that provide an unmatched level of care and attention with dedicated service. Whether for family use, fitness, or leisure activity, exceptional design swimming pools provide an extraordinary experience. The swimming pool installation process includes six steps, which are Assessment, Planning, Design, Engineering, Approvals, and Construction. Below are the guidelines to acquire Swimming Pool Approval under Trakhees.

The purpose of the Building Permit approval stage is to ensure that the architectural drawings are set according to the minimum building design requirements specified in Building Regulations and Design Guidelines – Architecture, International Codes, and relevant Trakhees-CED Codes & Regulations prior to proceeding for the building permit submission.

These guidelines are applicable to all clients or business entities operating within the jurisdiction area of Trakhees. The reviewing of the submitted drawings in accordance with Trakhees Codes, Regulations, and relevant codes will be handled by Trakhees-CED Architect Engineers, while the client’s engineering consultants are fully responsible for the design, stressing the accuracy, stability, and safety of the design and drawings.

The swimming pool approval process consists of three types of submission for concept design, which are New Concept Design, Revised Concept Design, and Revalidation of Concept Design & Amendment of Concept Design NOC. The client’s engineering consultant must register the project in the e-permit portal to acquire Project ID prior to the submission of the concept design. If failed to do so, the TKS-CED Help Desk shall reject the submission. The process also includes front desk registration & acknowledgment, distribution of documentation to respective sections, feedback & compile summary, sign and save drawing on the server & Prepare Concept Design NOC, notify consultant, issuance of Concept design NOC, and revised submission, building permit submission.

These guidelines will help you to ensure that your swimming pool installation process is in compliance with Trakhees regulations and standards.

Timelines depend on the scope, the completeness of the submission and the authority review, so we confirm a realistic programme for each project. However, delays may occur due to missing drawings, details clarification, internal department clarification, or special approval from higher management. As for records, no description or retention time has been specified.

Our Dubai Government Approvals team is dedicated to helping every client throughout the entire process, from the initial stage of obtaining Swimming Pool Approval in Dubai to the completion of the project. For more information, please feel free to contact us.
