The developers of the district needed top-quality, visually appealing building materials to give the new district the impressive appearance that was required.
When constructing the Business Bay Crossing Bridge, agents Mediterranean Building Materials (MBM) needed to acquire a 2,500-metre aluminium bridge parapet system tested in accordance with AASHTO 17th Edition & NCRHP350 TL4.
The parapet needed to look appealing, but most importantly it needed to protect all road users from falling from the bridge.
Having worked with Varley and Gulliver and its range of first-class, UK-manufactured products on many previous occasions, MBM knew exactly where to turn.
Varley and Gulliver now had the perfect system to meet both containment and aesthetic requirements on some of the most prestigious projects across the globe.
Varley and Gulliver provided a technical submission and sample pieces of the VGAN300 three Rail Bridge Parapet, which were approved for use on the project by the Al Naboodah Construction LLC and Halcrow Engineers.
At its UK factory, Varley and Gulliver manufactured 900 posts, over 1000 rails and all associated joints and fixings for the project and shipped them out to Dubai in 40-foot containers. The company’s experts also travelled to Dubai to visit the site, provide technical assistance and site specific training to local installation companies to ensure the product was installed correctly.
When planning the prestigious Business Bay project, the developer required a parapet system not only to protect road users but also to blend in with the landscape of the project.
Stacy Willis, Sales and Estimating Manager at Varley and Gulliver said: “The Business Bay development may not be one of the largest projects in our portfolio, but it was the project we were most excited about.
“To have a product, desiged and manufactured in the UK at the foot of the iconic Burj Kahlifa tower is something we are all very proud of at Varley & Gulliver.”
