Meydan

Meydan

Pacific Controls have delivered the ICT service infrastructure for the management and operation of the world's largest equestrain city.

PCS have delivered the ICT service infrastructure for the management and operation of the World’s largest equestrian City.

Meydan

Derived from an Arabic word which when translated, describes a place where people congregate and compete- the Meydan City project nesting 4kms from the mouth of Dubai creek is founded on simple grounding principles of partnership, community and sporting excellence. The developer of the biggest equestrian sporting venue in the world, the Meydan Group develops this city which is an interconnected cityscape of four distinct districts where the worlds of business, sports and elegant living intertwines to enhance, encourage and benefit each other.

This is the third biggest project in Dubai, after the Burj Dubai and the Metro and the IBMS Monitors and Controls all the electromechanical devices in the buildings.

Concept architecture

Concept architecture

For the initial phase of this project, the Intelligent Building Management System developed by Pacific Controls encompasses the five star hotels-The Banyan Tree with more than ten fine-dining restaurants, the 60,000 capacity Grandstand, the Car Park – a covered parking for 10,000, the Dubai Racing Club and Emirates Racing Authority offices.

Meydan Business View Dashboard Another highlight of the project is the web based interface of all the monitoring cameras of the Access Control System, whereby the user can view online any of the CCTV Cameras as a pop up. Fire Alarm Systems are also integrated to the IBMS and the devices are monitored and controlled efficiently where the life and safety of the occupants is the prime concern.

The IBMS controls all the HVAC devices for these buildings through an automated control system which could be controlled centrally through a pre defined schedule or by the user requirements locally. The control points are integrated to touch panels, thermostats etc thereby making the controls more users friendly and having more fidelity.

All of the Building systems are integrated by the Intelligent Building Management System onto a single platform thereby enabling to control and monitor all of the facilities through a common Human Machine Interface (HMI). The common IP backbone coupled with the web services offered through IBMS enables the Building system to be integrated to the Web.

Thus stunning landmark buildings, horse racing stands and luxurious residential accommodation mingle seamlessly at Meydan City resulting in a community designed to strike the perfect work-life balance where residents and employees can effortlessly move between both elements of their lives, using one to augment the other.

The data from all the field devices are collected, parsed and presented intelligently through the Graphics of IBMS, whereby the management can view all the required information through a single interface.

24x7 Dubai Civil Defence

24x7 Dubai Civil Defence

Our National Life & Safety ICT solution to Dubai Civil Defence improved response time of first responders to less than 2 minutes & fire incidents declined by 25% in 3 years since implementation.

The Vision

24x7 Dubai Civil Defenc

In 2008, Dubai Civil Defence and Pacific Controls together embarked on a unique project to enhance life safety and national security in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, by implementing the 24x7 Direct Alarm System through a 24x7 Command Control Center. On completion of the project, every private and government building within Dubai will be monitored for fire, lift safety, and emergency alarms using state-of-the-art IOT solutions.

Pacific Controls has built a state of the art 24x7 Command Control Center to monitor the facilities around the clock where skilled staff monitors and manages the infrastructure, ensuring robustness, quality service and high uptime. Operating Procedures (SOPs) have been developed and embedded in close consultation with Dubai Civil Defence, to ensure timely integration of buildings, real time monitoring of life safety alarms and seamless sharing of useful information like building location and floor plans with operations team, for an effective and efficient operation.

Direct Alarm System Operations

In Dubai, by implementing the 24x7 Direct Alarm System for monitoring of life safety alarms, the system has achieved accurate, timely and early notification of emergencies. It supports efficient coordination of emergency services, to tackle safety situations and has not only reduced the number of life safety incidents in Dubai but also improved the response time of first responders and overall compliance.

Pacific Controls has also launched series of Dubai Life Safety Dashboards to add more power to Dubai Civil Defence operations, enhancing the organization’s capabilities to capture data for better decision-making and organizational performance. Dubai Life Safety Dashboards and Personal Dashboard is a sophisticated way to digitally track and access critical information online that allows decision makers at Civil Defence, building owners, residents and visitors to monitor the life safety status of Dubai in real time and determine their roles, responsibility and accountability in a transparent and dynamic manner. This enables significant transformation in how performance levels and safety standards can be enhanced exponentially by sharing real time information between all the stake holders to act on information and participate in a collaborative manner. The enterprise-class business intelligence delivered through the dashboard will also help all government departments, building owners and residents to monitor their buildings health and safety status in real-time on a great intuitive interface.
