Group AMANA delivers AED 150m R&D facility for Jotun

n Group AMANA has announced the completion and handover of a major AED 150mn (US$ 41mn) strategic project for Jotun MEIA FZ in Dubai Science Park.

The advanced facility is part of the company’s new MEIA (Middle East, India and Africa) regional office, and covers a built area of 23000sqm. This is the latest project delivered to the highest standard by AMANA Contracting, with optimal quality and results.

The facility houses spaces for corporate users for regional operations and has a main boardroom, meeting rooms, prayer rooms, gym, training rooms, recreational zones, a canteen, and other areas.

“AMANA leveraged innovative technologies to improve on quality and reduce materials, achieving over two million manhours with no lost-time injury (LTI) or any major safety incidents, highlighting our commitment to the highest safety standards,” commented Joe Labaky, General Manager, UAE and Emerging Markets, AMANA Contracting.

AMANA used the latest technologies, including BIM and Offsite Construction to deliver excellence and timely construction. BIM technology was used to map out digital drawings of the project and deliver thorough installation of Modular Systems, instead of conventional methods.

Aligned with Jotun’s global initiative to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030, AMANA used an innovative technique to help reduce energy dissipation in the building, a press statement concluded.
