Project Overview
The Palm Tower, a soaring 52-story landmark at the prestigious Palm Jumeirah, sets a new standard for luxury living in Dubai. It features 432 fully furnished luxury residences and incorporates a five-star hotel, the St. Regis Dubai, The Palm. This iconic development integrates world-class amenities including the AURA Skypool, one of the world’s highest infinity pools, and offers breathtaking panoramic views from its exclusive observation deck, The View at The Palm.
Solution
Protecta FR Acrylic, supplied by Emirates Technotrade, was selected for its exceptional fire-resistant properties. This product is known for its ability to seal compartments and prevent the spread of fire and smoke, thereby enhancing the structural integrity and safety of the building. Protecta FR Acrylic was utilised extensively throughout the construction phase, especially in critical areas prone to fire risks.
Implementation
The application of Protecta FR Acrylic involved strategic placement within the building’s infrastructure, focusing on joints and openings where fire integrity and insulation were crucial. The collaboration between Trojan General Contracting, RSP & AI Jadeed Consultants, and Emirates Technotrade ensured that the fire-stopping measures were seamlessly integrated into the building process without disrupting the overall construction schedule.
Outcome
The use of Protecta FR Acrylic in The Palm Tower has significantly bolstered the building’s resilience against fire, contributing to a safer environment for its residents and visitors. This implementation not only complies with Dubai’s strict fire safety codes but also sets a benchmark for future constructions in high-risk residential and commercial buildings.
