The UAE-based facilities management firm Farnek announced that it has won a mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contract for IMG Worlds of Adventure in Dubai.
According to a press release by the company, the contract will start immediately and require Farnek to maintain the entire site of the indoor theme park, which opens in August.
IMG Worlds of Adventure spreads over 1.5 million square feet and includes rides, food and beverage outlets, retail and cinema areas.
Farnek did not specify how much the contract was worth.
Markus Oberlin, CEO of Farnek, commented on the contract saying: “We are extremely proud to partner with IMG Worlds of Adventure as this extensive project highlights our core technical and critical competencies. From both an operational and commercial perspective, it is essential that IMG Worlds of Adventure offers its customers the safest and most exciting experience, with minimal downtime of the rides and attractions.
“Although the rides themselves will be serviced by specialist operators, Farnek will support them by offering MEP maintenance in the immediate vicinity and throughout the site.”
Lennard Otto, CEO of IMG Worlds of Adventure, said: “Farnek has been chosen for its technical and critical competency and its operational methodology. Farnek already manages a multidimensional portfolio and so has proved it can handle projects of varied scope. We look forward to working together as we continue to progress towards the opening of IMG Worlds of Adventure this August.”
IMG Worlds of Adventure is situated within the City of Arabia and has a daily capacity of up to 30,000 people.
