Case Study: Expo 2020

In order to meet the client’s schedule, we operated 24/7, both in the factory and on-site. The building plot was cut and ready for foundations within seven days of mobilisation, a further seven days later the precast foundations were complete and installed on-site and on the fifteenth day the first module was in place. After a total of six weeks the building structure and first fix service connections were completed and tested.

As the access roads were being planned, hard landscaping works commenced across the plot, including a centre courtyard, RTA bus stop and service yards.

Meanwhile the interior works continued day and night, including the installation of elevators, majalis, VRF AC system, glazing, marble works, external terrace areas, IT and fire alarm connectivity and final commissioning. On the eighty-ninth day the building was occupied. 

With the focus on quality, delivery and the environment, from designing elements such as LED lighting, LRV, recycled initiatives, solar energy, BIO diesel and more, we delivered a quality building in record time. Externally, the incorporation of recycling systems for water irrigation, location and positioning of the building and glazing to optimise day light were all areas of focus. The use of any material which negatively impacted the environment was prohibited from the site and the specifications for items such as timber, glue, diesel and paints were all carefully specified by a team of environmental experts.

The highlight of the project was the opening, when the first building was handed over to Dubai EXPO. The building plays a major role in delivering the most exclusive, innovative and futuristic EXPO to date.
