The Coca Cola Arena, Dubai

ESF supplied over 700 products to the project including bollards, benches, tree grates and litter bins.

Managing Director, Alan Lowry said,

Dubai Arena has been ESF’s largest project to date and we’re delighted to have contributed to what is sure to be one of Dubai’s most popular tourist attractions. Having the opportunity to showcase our products to the millions of tourists, estimated to be 25 million per year by 2025, is a great achievement for a small company from Northern Ireland.

We supplied a number of products, most of which were manufactured in Northern Ireland, including security bollards to go around the perimeter to ensure its protection as well as benches, litter bins and tree grates. 

A greater focus is being placed on perimeter security across the globe due to the increase of attacks, especially where large crowds gather, so it’s important to ensure each product installed at the Dubai Arena is fit for purpose. All ESF’s security bollards are PAS 68 tested and certified and due to our recent acquisition of Sentry Posts, we have the technical ability to design and deliver a global project of this scale.

We have been very fortunate to deliver a number of projects across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in recent years with our street, themed and solar powered products, including IMG Worlds of Adventure, Warner Brothers Park and Global Village. We are hopeful to continue that growth, with the addition of our security products, throughout the UAE and Middle East in the months and years ahead.”

Dubai Arena, officially named the Coca-Cola Arena following a ten-year deal with Coca Cola, is due to open in June 2019 and will span half-a-million square feet.

The multi-purpose arena, located at City Walk, will have the capacity to accommodate 17,000 people and will host a variety of events all year round.
