| Atkins to design sustainable water park in Abu Dhabi Atkins has been appointed by Aldar Properties PJSC as lead designer for a new 16.4ha water park on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Aldar has committed to making the facility one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable water parks in the world. Atkins, which was also responsible for Wild Wadi Water Park in nearby Dubai, is designing the park's buildings to meet Estidama guidelines and is engineering ways to dramatically reduce energy and water consumption. The facility will feature more than 40 rides and attractions, including four one-of-a-kind rides that have never been seen before in a water park. Aldar has already received the conceptual planning approval for the Park from the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council and has started the prequalification process for main contractors for the project. Construction work will begin in July 2010, with the project scheduled for delivery in 2012. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
