Enoc Group, a leading integrated oil and gas player, unveiled the design its pavilion at the Expo 2020 Dubai, which will underline its industry leadership through the overarching theme ‘Reimagine Energy.’
Saif Humaid Al Falasi, group chief executive officer, said: “For over 25 years, we have resolutely worked towards fulfilling the nation’s energy requirements and transforming the energy sector through our integrated operations and innovative service offering.
“As the Official Integrated Energy Partner of Expo 2020 Dubai, we are presenting an innovative and fully-immersive experience that challenges the conventional understanding of energy and offers inspiring insights on how we can all partner in shaping the future of energy.”
“Most importantly, the pavilion provides us with a strategic platform to highlight the three sub themes of Expo 2020 Dubai – Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability. These themes have always been central to what we do.” he added.
Taking visitors on an inspiring journey that discusses the role of energy in our past, present and future, the pavilion will open new windows of engagement on the evolution of the sector – and address how Enoc will play a central role in driving energy sustainability through its innovative and technology-driven initiatives.
The architectural theme of the pavilion draws on the design of oil storage tanks with five distinct structures including four ‘houses’ taking visitors on an unprecedented multi-sensory journey through four distinctive narratives: Discovery – what energy is; Harness – what energy enables; Collaborate – what energy needs; and Reimagine – what energy promises. Every visitor will be inspired in the pavilion’s experiential offering – which will inform, educate, engage and entertain.
The pavilion is constructed using 650 tonnes of steel and is designed and engineered taking into consideration potential legacy use. A tour of the four ‘houses’ is envisaged to offer visitors 18 minutes of unprecedented experiences that draw on the many facets of the overarching theme, ‘Reimagine Energy.’ In a first-of-its-kind journey, visitors can also ‘feel’ the energy through the use of ultrasound, audio-visual narratives, sensory experiences, kinetic installations and interactive projections.
The Enoc Pavilion will also feature ‘The Hive,’ a dedicated space for government and industry stakeholders to engage in finding answers to the industry’s unanswered questions.
Highlighting Enoc’s focus and commitment to ‘Sustainability,’ the flooring of kinetic play areas is made of recycled rubber and condensation from air-conditioning the pavilion will be harvested for landscape irrigation.Earlier this year Enoc unveiled plans for a new concept design service station on the Expo site that will be built on the exoskeleton of the Ghaf tree. The station, which in the legacy phase of Expo will serve District 2020, is designed to be the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certified service station in the region.
