The Project

The project involves providing a state-of-the-art Media Centre facility for EXPO 2020 equipped with cutting edge technology within an operationally efficient working environment. The fit out scope is 7,700 sqm across ground floor to level 9 of Al Wasl Plaza, Sustainability District including, TV/radio studios, production rooms, master control room, editing suites, green rooms, interview rooms, press briefing rooms, offices and workspace areas, catering area and rooftop lounge. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the project has been delayed and is expected to be completed in October 2020. The broadcast/media team will begin their installations of equipment and cabling in 2021.

Our Appointment

We were bought in to provide specialist expertise on the installation for the broadcast and media systems. This included coordinating the requirements from a broadcast perspective with the main contractor and highlighting any technical risks that the contractor may face with their installations. We advised the main contractor when queries arose from the EXPO media team to ensure that technically specific and accurate information was provided regarding our scope of work. A thorough review of the acoustic requirements for the technical spaces was provided to the contractor. Once the installation resumes will oversee the process to ensure accuracy and supervise installation.

The Benefit

Assisting ISG by highlighting risks, providing expert advice, and managing the coordination between their team and the EXPO’s working team, has enabled them to preempt issues that may have later caused them to rework certain aspects of their delivered construction services. Retrofit requirements to rectify inefficiencies for the media and broadcast facility are extremely costly and time consuming. Because we were able to use our technical knowledge in the field, once installation begins on the equipment and cabling, ISG will be able to boast a successful mission critical installation for the prestigious global EXPO 2020.
