Dubai, UAE – 10 March 2016: Dubai Properties (DP), a leading Dubai-based real estate master developer and asset manager known for renowned destinations across the Emirate, reported the successful implementation of the highest standards of HSE in all its communities to ensure the safety of its residents, on Wednesday 9th of March 2016, following the unpredicted thunderstorm and rainfalls in the UAE.
The communities pumps were immediately put to use and tankers were promptly dispatched to manually extract the excess water. A large team of security experts and a cleaning services crew were positioned in all communities to answer to tenants' immediate needs. In Remraam a temporary access was opened from the construction site area in Remraam phase 2, offering an alternative safe entry and exit to the community.
Masood Al Awar, Chief Officer Commercial from Dubai Properties said, "The weather had a drastic impact across the UAE, and the country was significantly disrupted by the storm. We commend the efforts of the leadership, Dubai Civil Defense, Dubai Police, Dubai Municipality and Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on their unparalleled efforts in safeguarding the residents and visitors of the Emirate, and continuously advising them on the right measures."
"We have never witnessed such unpredictable severe storms in the UAE and damages from the heavy rain were inevitable across all Emirates. Our experienced teams, in coordination with Taziz and Ejadah, headed by senior HSE executives, were swiftly stationed in affected locations. I am proud that our action plan was successfully and effectively executed in line with the highest HSE standards. The team worked tirelessly round the clock, under the rain, and opened a new road within few hours, to ensure the safety of our communities residents, which has always been a top priority for DP," Al Awar continued.
Paul Gyles, 3 years and a half tenant at Remraam community said: "The weather was as bad as anything I've seen over the past 13 years living in Dubai. However, despite the challenges there was huge team effort by Taziz, Idama Maintenance, Security and the Cleaners as well as the involvement of many residents all working together to manage through the situation and bring things back under control."
