Ducab's Dh100mn cabling plays big part in construction of the world's biggest airport

Huge infrastructure project due to open in Dubai

Dubai 26th  October 2013: Ducab, one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality cables and wires in the Middle East, is delighted to announce that the construction of Al Maktoum International Airport, for which they have been instrumentally involved in the supply of cables and wiring, is nearly complete. The airport is due to be unveiled and officially opened on Sunday 27th October 2013, and is anticipated to be the largest airport in the world.

Ducab has supplied cabling throughout the five years it has taken to construct Al Maktoum International Airport, and its reputation as the largest supplier of industrial cabling in the Middle East goes hand-in-hand with what has been a huge project. The construction of the airport has been the largest infrastructure project currently operating in Dubai. Most of the cabling and wiring that has been required for this project has been manufactured by Ducab, including LV, building wire, and a variety of specialist cabling.

This huge deal has further cemented Ducab's position as a leading supplier of world-class industrial cabling and wiring to the local UAE marketplace. Ducab anticipates that having been involved in such a major project will also help it develop new markets for its products within the local region.

In order to deliver the cabling that was required for the Al Maktoum International Airport project, Ducab partnered with the Al Nabooda Group, Kharafi National, and Thermo L.L.C., in order to ensure its efficient and effective delivery. It is expected that such a salubrious contract with a major international airport has only enhanced Ducab's already excellent reputation. 

Speaking on the subject of the Al Maktoum International Airport project, Colin McKay, General Manager for Sales & Marketing, Ducab, had the following to say: “Ducab is delighted to have been centrally involved in this huge infrastructure project, the biggest in Dubai. This will further enhance the company's already established reputation as one of the largest suppliers of industrial cabling in the Middle East, as well as further cementing its status as a trusted UAE business.”

He added: “Ducab is also keen to emphasise that the vast majority of cabling utilised in this project has been manufactured in the UAE. Thus, this will naturally make a great contribution to the UAE economy, as well as providing job opportunities for locals to the process of Emiratisation.”

McKay also mentioned that there are obvious economic benefits for the UAE created by the Al Maktoum International Airport project. Firstly, such a massive infrastructure project will naturally have direct economic advantages for the local economy initially. But there will also be benefits related to investment in the airport, which will make the project an even more economically valuable one, as well as money coming into the UAE from tourism. Overall, the project is set to make a huge contribution to the local community, the Dubai economy, and the central government's socio-economic vision.
