In line with the global buzz around the environment and climate change which was brought to a peak last month during the COP27 conference in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, The Big 5 show in Dubai is set to launch its own initiative to discuss the construction sector’s impact on the environment when the premier event opens this month.

The GCC region is a key market for the UK’s construction goods and services industry, accounting for some £2.01 billion ($2.39 billion) of the total £2.27 billion worth of exports to the Middle East and Pakistan region in the year ending Q2 2022.

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is offering a seminar, “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete,” during The Big 5 show in Dubai.

Buoyed by the response it received during previous Big 5 events, the Saudi-based United Insulations Company (UIC) will be returning to the show in Dubai this year to showcase its diverse portfolio of high-quality low-density polyethylene (LDPE) foam products.

Polycon Gulf Limited, which has made a mark as the only company in the UAE to offer rotolining/polyethylene (PE) lining technology for corrosion protection, is planning to expand its rotomolding and rotolining lines in Qatar as well as other business verticals in relevant markets in the near future.

UK-based Biosite Systems, which provides technology-enabled solutions that optimise operational efficiency, improve health and safety and ensure compliance on site, will be showcasing its EN54 certified Wireless Fire Alarm system alongside a range of other safety products at its stand at The Big 5 show.

Access 360, one of the UK’s leading access solutions manufacturers, will be exhibiting its comprehensive portfolio of access products for ceilings, walls and floors at The Big 5.
