Flooring Company Takes Off at Dubai’s International Airport

Flowcrete has reinforced its position as a premier global flooring company with a large scale installation at Dubai International Airport – one of the largest projects ever undertaken by the company.

A selection of Flowcrete’s specialist systems – including screeds, car park decking, hygienic and fast-track floors - have all been applied within the new Terminal 3 and Concourse 2 developments.

Alan Dean, Sales Director of Flowcrete, which has its international headquarters in Cheshire, said: “The range of products used at Dubai International Airport and the sheer scale of the installation process demonstrates Flowcrete’s ability to undertake the world’s largest and most prestigious construction projects.”

Flowcrete products installed include the time proven Isocrete K-Screed - specified for airport developments across the globe for more than 30 years – which was used at the multi-storey car-park facilities. Around 40,000 square metres of Isocrete K-Screed were also installed within the passenger setdown area of the Departures Hall.

A total of 366,000 square metres of Flowcrete’s decking system Deckshield has also been installed - across all five levels of the car park, including the exposed top deck.

The Deckshield system was also applied in other high traffic areas including all service roads underneath the Terminal Complex, the baggage handling areas and plant rooms.

For the kitchen facilities within the development, Flowcrete’s Flowfresh system was installed. Recognised for its durability and ease of cleaning, the seamless polyurethane floor incorporates Polygiene, which utilisies the natural purification capabilities of silver to deliver around the clock protection against a wide range of different bacteria.

Finally, Flowfast Quartz - Flowcrete’s fast-track floor ready for use just hours after installation - was applied in the cold storage area.

The project is the latest success for Flowcrete in the Middle East. In Autumn, the company announced it had won its largest ever contract - involving the installation of its car-park decking system Deckshield - at Dubai’s Jumeirah Lakes Towers Development.

Flowcrete - which has a regional office in Dubai - has also secured another large scale contract in the Emirate, to apply its sound performance system Isocrete Acoustic K at the luxury Fairmont Palm Residence Hotel and Resort, being built within the exclusive Palm Jumeirah Development.
