Prysmian Group, a global leader in energy and telecom cable systems sector, has been awarded a contract worth €3 million ($3.69 million) to supply over 400 km of fire-resistant cables to the Royal Atlantis Resort in Dubai.

The Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences, the newest icon of Dubai, is a contemporary interpretation of classic architectural design masterpieces. Rising above the crystal-clear waters of the Arabian Gulf, it is amongst the most exclusive residences in Dubai. The new luxury resort will be completed in 2019.

As per the deal, Prysmian will supply its enhanced fire-resistant cables, a mixture of both FPPlus and FP400 cables, which offer extended fire survival times, coupled with low flame spread and very low emission of smoke and dangerous gases in the event of a fire. This will allow guests longer time to evacuate the building and ensure better operating conditions for the emergency teams, the company states.

Moreover, fire-resistant cables ensure power supply, fire alarm system operation and emergency systems operation during a fire, says Prysmian.

The cables will be supplied to various electrical contractors on the project by specialist Prysmian Group distributors in Dubai during 2018 and 2019, it adds.
