  • PRESS RELEASE

Drake & Scull International (DSI), one of the leading independent electrical and mechanical engineering contracting companies, has announced the successful delivery of the District Cooling project at Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZ), as well as the completion of its MEP (Mechanical electrical and plumbing) project in a two-block office building also located in the Free Zone.

Earlier, DSI was appointed main contractor to undertake the enhancement of DAFZ's existing central cooling plant and provide a new central water storage facility to be utilized for domestic water and fire fighting requirements as well as irrigation. It has successfully signed off on the project after carrying out a complete revamp of existing infrastructure while ensuring minimal disruption to end-users of DAFZ services. A series of night time shutdowns were co-ordinated with free zone's authority, so as to minimize impact on the operating performance of DAFZ's tenants.

DSI has also successfully delivered on its MEP contract with DAFZ for infrastructure in an office building complex located in the Free Zone's Development Phase IV. The project dealt with mechanical and electrical works for HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, sewage, storm, fire alarm system, Uninterrupted Power Supply, CCTV, Power Generators, Access Control Systems, Telephone and Data systems, Building Management Systems and small power & lighting systems.

Commenting on the company's successful projects, Khaldoun Al Tabari, Executive Director, Drake & Scull International said,

"DSI takes pride in its cemented reputation for timeliness and quality. We exert full efforts towards delivering in time bound and streamlined fashion. The economic boom and overall development in the UAE means that there is an increasing demand for MEP services in the country, and we are committed to establishing ourselves as the leading turnkey solutions provider in the market."


DSI was recently awarded for its efforts towards excellence at a ceremony under the patronage of his highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, where it received a certificate for being an outstanding strategic supplier for DAFZ.

DSI has been providing quality engineering services to the Middle East market since its inception in 1964, and has been contracted for numerous upscale projects and landmark developments in the UAE. The list of projects features Dubai Festival City and Jumeirah Beach Residence.
