Rubber World Industries (RWI), the manufacturer of the closed-cell rubber insulation 'Gulf-O-Flex', has won a contract from Diamond Developers to provide over Dh2.4 million ($653,000) worth of building materials for its ‘Sustainable City’ project in Dubai, UAE.

Located in Dubailand, the Dh1.1-billion ($300 million) development will comprise 500 villa units and is set for completion in 2015.

The community will feature a school, a university, a planetarium, a country club and a community centre with retail and coffee shops.

The first 100 villas are expected to be completed before the end of the year. In addition, the community will also have a green belt with 20,000 trees and a 5,000-sq-ft-long water canal, a 600,000-sq-ft solar park and water management system that will recycle 100 per cent of waste water.

Developed by Diamond Developers, the project is being supervised by Al Ajmi Engineering Consultants, while contracting works are being handled by Jeet Contracting and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works by Sun Middle East Electro Mechanical Works.

“The ‘Sustainable City’ has positioned itself as one of the country’s leading green development projects. Its completion is expected to inspire the development of similar environment-friendly communities in the UAE and the rest of the region,” said Rizwan Shaikhani, managing director of RWI, part of the international business conglomerate, the Shaikhani Group of Companies.
