On the strategic tie-up, Pramodh Idicheria, COO, Al Shirawi Engineering Services, said: "This enables us to strengthen our brand and create value for our stakeholders. What makes this a win-win situation for us, is that the very essence of futureproofing is to utilise our niche expertise to improve the lifespan of buildings and thus transform UAE’s cityscape."
