Imdaad builds Jafza complex for fleet

01 November 2011

FACILITIES management firm Imdaad has started construction of a state-of-the-art complex in Dubai’s Jafza South.
The complex is designed to provide maintenance services for Imdaad’s fleet of more than 150 small, medium and heavy vehicles. The complex, which is being developed on a 30,000-sq-m plot, will facilitate all in-house services for denting, painting, welding and tyre maintenance.

Imdaad has invested over Dh12 million ($3.2 million) in the first phase of the complex and expects to recover the cost of construction in three years. The complex, which has been built over a 10,000 sq m area of the plot, will be completed by June next year.

Jamal Abdulla Lootah, CEO, Imdaad, said: “The complex will enhance the delivery of premium-quality services, while ensuring that our vehicles are maintained according to strict quality and environmental standards. Moreover, we have conducted extensive soil test and environmental impact studies for the project, while all the approvals had been received in early 2011.”

The complex will have ample space for all Imdaad equipment and will comprise four wash bays, which have been designed to ensure minimum environmental impact. It will also adopt recycling and water reuse facilities. The remaining undeveloped area will be used for future expansion.
