Case Study > Dubai Design District (D3) Carpark, UAE Overview Round beams in the carpark presented a challenge but Gripple offered an innovative solution for the suspension of lights. The carpark at Dubai’s new Design District (D3) presented a number of challenges when planning the suspension of lights. The beams from which they were to be suspended were round, and the design of the carpark meant that the fixings needed to provide rigidity against the wind. Gripple’s Universal Clamp with an M8 Adaptor was chosen at the most suitable system for this project, allowing the challenges to be overcome.

Case Study > Etihad Lounge – Abu Dhabi Airport, UAE The project at Abu Dhabi airport was fast-tracked, meaning the project team required a suspension system that would allow them to install the ductwork as quickly as possible. Gripple’s Hangfast No. 3 with M8 Stud was selected as the most suitable system which was used alongside Corner Saddles on the duct. The quick installation time meant that the contractor was able to finish the job on-time.

Case Study > IKEA Distribution Centre, UAE The lighting needed to be installed with long drops which would have required multiple rigid supports if the traditional method was used. Due to the long drop lengths, this could have resulted in supports that were unstable or bent. Using Gripple, the contractor needed 12,000 supports to hang 6,000 lights in the warehouse. We provided a solution with single length wires (HF1 with a M6 Stud) which not only overcame the challenge, but reduced the installation time.
“Due to the improved speed of installation over traditional methods, we were able to finish the job on time with a quality installation and great aesthetics� Yogendra Singh, Project Manager, Jumbo Engineering LLC

Case Study > Majid Al Futtaim Villa, UAE Overview Majid Al Futtaim Villa is a luxury 2 storey residential villa and majlis in Dubai, UAE.
Gripple was used to suspend lighting in this luxury villa. Due to the glass roof, there were no hanging points therefore the Catenary and C-Clip system was chosen as the most suitable solution. This allowed support to be taken from the walls and the lights to be suspended from the wire spanning across the space. Location

Case Study > Me-aisem City Centre Mall, UAE The mall, located near the intersection of Al Khail Road and Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road, features 56 retail outlets. The mall has a steel structure, which meant that there was limited space to hang services. Gripple proved perfect for the project with Hangfast No. 3 with Loop selected as the most appropriate system to meet the needs of the job.
“Gripple was really helpful to do the job” ef Scott Yorke, Project Manager, Haydon MEPcd

Case Study > Mirdif Lifestyle Park, UAE The Mirdif Lifestyle park is a mixed-use commercial building in Dubai. It has five units for food and beverage outlets, 28 shops including clinics and barber shops as well as other commercial units. The G+2 building also has two basements for parking, plus a plant room. Gripple products were used on this project to install the HVAC ducting, which is Spiralite® ducting imported from the UK; another new product for the UAE market. The Gripple wire hanging system allowed the ducting to be installed quicker than traditional methods. Whereas threaded rod would have required the drilling of two drill holes per suspension, with Gripple just one hole was required. This meant that the MEP contractor was able to install the ducting in half the time when compared with traditional methods.
“Gripple is a lightweight product, so anyone can deal with it. There are no sharp edges, so it is a very safe system to use.” Aymen Fayad, MEP Manager Khansaheb Building Services

Case Study > The Opus by Omniyat, UAE The Opus by Omniyat is a prestigious development in downtown Dubai in the heart of the Burj Khalifa district. Designed by the late world-famous architect Dame Zaha Hadid, it is a mixed-use building containing six basement levels of parking, a design hotel, private apartments and office accommodation. Gripple’s wire suspension products were used to install the lighting in the carpark of the building. Due to the open ceiling, a solution was needed that would work well with the other building services that were being installed, and it also needed to be aesthetically pleasing. In addition, it was necessary that the solution was adjustable due to minimum height required for clearance above the cars using the carpark. Gripple Hangfast No. 1 with M6 stud was chosen as the most suitable solution. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, it offered flexibility over traditional installation solutions, as the height of the lights could be adjusted easily. The wire suspensions could also fit easily around other building services. Gripple’s distributor in UAE, Sentor Electrical, provided training on-site for the first installation and were available to offer site support throughout the project, although the contractor, Haydon MEP, experienced no issues during installation after the initial training.

Case Study > The Opus by Omniyat, UAE The two main benefits Haydon MEP saw by using Gripple on this project were the improved speed of installation compared to traditional methods, and the fact the system is user friendly, so it was quick for the contractors to learn how to use. Compared to traditional threaded rod solutions, which need to be cut, filed and painted, Gripple is just one ready-to-use system meaning fewer components and tools are required. John Palmer, Project Manager Haydon MEP commented that although the material cost of Gripple can be higher than traditional threaded rod, the significantly reduced installation time on-site outweighs this cost. In addition to The Opus project, Haydon MEP has used Gripple on further projects to install other services including ductwork and modules.
Why Gripple? • Materials are easily delivered direct to the job site • Less labour intensive and easier installation than competitors • Reduced time on drawing turnaround • Approvals gained quickly • Flexibility and versatility
“The Gripple Hangfast system was simple, cost effective and easy-to-use. It removed the need to use multiple components compared to the traditional installation method and it is aesthetically pleasing which was perfect for use at The Opus by Omniyat” Scott Yorke, Operations Manager, Haydon MEP
