Prysmian Group, a global leader in energy and telecom cable systems sector, has been awarded a contract worth €3 million ($3.69 million) to supply over 400 km of fire-resistant cables to the Royal Atlantis Resort in Dubai, UAE.

The Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences is the newest icon of Dubai and the next modern wonder. It is a contemporary interpretation of classic architectural design masterpieces, creating a destination perfect for living.

Rising above the crystal-clear waters of the Arabian Gulf, it is amongst the most exclusive residences in Dubai. The new luxury resort will be completed in 2019.

As per the deal, Prysmian will supply its enhanced fire-resistant cables, a mixture of both FPPlus and FP400 cables, which offer extended fire survival times, coupled with low flame spread and very low emission of smoke and dangerous gases in the event of a fire, said the company in a statement.

This will allow guests longer time to evacuate the building and ensure better operating conditions for the emergency teams, it stated.

Moreover, fire-resistant cables ensure power supply, fire alarm system operation and emergency systems operation during a fire, said the statement from Prysmian.

The cables will be supplied to various electrical contractors on the project by specialist Prysmian Group distributors in Dubai during 2018 and 2019, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
