"DSI's technical proficiency molded by years of extensive experience in the industry, and our contemporary expertise sharpened by a sustained investment in the latest trends and technology, will be of great use in meeting the unique demands of these leisure-oriented projects. Aside from providing the best quality of engineering work through cutting-edge technology, we also give significant consideration to the end-users when implementing our projects especially in these highly consumer-centric facilities."

Under the Anantara Palm Jumeirah & Tiara Residence contract, which has been awarded to DSI for AED 250 million, DSI will work on a 258,000-square meter complex of adjoining apartments, five-star hotel, serviced furnished apartments, and a club house.
