Atlas power helps Palm contractor.

(From Gulf Construction)

Atlas Copco power is in use on a number of projects in the region including Dubai's prestigious Palm Jumeirah project

Turkish contractor Bin Beleila Baytur making its debut in Dubai with the construction of 10 high-quality, high-rise apartment towers along the seashore of the Jumeirah Palm's main trunk is using an Atlas Copco QAS 14 generating set to assist it on the project

Rated at 13 kVA at 50 Hz, the QAS 14 also provides 9 kW lighting power for a trailer-mounted floodlight mast

The contractor is also using two purpose-ordered Atlas Copco XAS 186 air compressors to provide an actual free air delivery of 11.1 cu m/min at Bar 7

The Jumeirah Palm and its sister Palm at Jebel Ali are the world's two largest man-made islands and are claimed to be visible from space with the naked eye. Both islands are built in the shape of date palm trees and comprise a trunk, a crown with 17 fronds and a surrounding crescent island - the back of which forms the breakwater. Such has been the demand from investors for both 'Palms' that work is shortly to begin on a third, off Deira

Jumeirah Palm Bin Beleila Baytur's contract was the first to be started for the shoreline apartments following completion of the dredging operations to form the complete palm and settlement
