du NOC Approvals
du NOC Approvals in Dubai
du (Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company) reviews and approves telecom infrastructure for new buildings and developments before it provides services. Its NOC process covers building design, construction materials, external ducting and site inspection, with handover of the telecom rooms before services go live. SBM Contracting manages your du NOCs and builds the infrastructure to du FTTX standards.
Our scope includes:
- 1
Design NOC drawings: structured cabling floor and riser layouts, electrical single-line diagram and mobile coverage drawings
- 2
Construction and Material NOC submissions, including material samples for testing
- 3
OSP and civil infrastructure NOC for external ducting, with master plan and road cross-sections
- 4
Installation of telecom rooms, risers, cable containment and FTTX cabling
- 5
Booking and attending du site inspections
- 6
Snag-free handover of telecom rooms for service activation
Why Choose SBM Contracting
du only takes over telecom rooms that are complete and snag-free, and services start after handover, so late or incomplete NOCs delay occupancy. SBM Contracting manages every du NOC stage alongside construction, so your building is ready on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
The du process includes a Design NOC, applied for by the consultant, a Construction and Material NOC, applied for by the contractor, and an OSP or civil infrastructure NOC for external ducting, followed by site inspection and handover.
du validates the design drawings against its guidelines, including structured cabling floor and riser drawings, the electrical single-line diagram and mobile coverage (GSM) drawings, submitted in AutoCAD and PDF formats with the application form.
du checks material samples and carries out site inspections while the telecom infrastructure is being installed.
After the NOCs are obtained and around 70% of the telecom systems are complete, the building inspection is requested online through du.
du asks for external ducting to be handed over at least eight weeks before service is needed.
Once the telecom rooms, customer premises setup and cable containment are snag-free, du takes over the rooms and provides services about 30 working days after handover. Properties should not be occupied before services are available.
Many buildings are served by both du and e&, so developers often obtain both NOCs. We coordinate both so the infrastructure meets each operator’s requirements.
Fees are set by the approving authority or management company and depend on the type and size of the works. We confirm the applicable fees during our initial review and give you a clear quote for our services.
du will not take over telecom rooms with open snags, so services are delayed until the comments are closed and the rooms pass inspection.
