DSE secures AED224m project award in Dubai

Drake and Scull Engineering (DSE) was awarded an AED224m project to deliver MEP works for a hotel complex and the expansion of a prominent retail mall in Dubai. The development of the mall extension will include a new high rise hotel tower and a low-rise podium that includes a hypermarket, cinemas, and additional retail space, all within a total built up area of 192,000 square metre.

The company has already started working onsite and will oversee supply, installation, testing and commissioning of complete MEP works which is scheduled to handover by 2018.

Ahmad Al Naser, managing director of DSE, said that the hotel complex and mall expansion is a welcome addition to iconic projects being delivered by DSE in the UAE including Habtoor City, the Jewel of the Creek and the Louvre Museum.

“The project win also reflects our position in the engineering sector as the preferred partner for large scale retail malls which is enhanced by our previous work on prestigious retail developments like Abu Dhabi’s Central Market and the Sahara Mall Expansion.”
