Dubai World Central is a 140 square kilometre, multi- phase development with the world’s biggest airport, DWC-Al Maktoum International Airport, at its core.

Fully self-sustaining, Dubai World Central promises to be a key benchmark in the evolution of the emirate, a genuine city- within-a-city. DWC creates a new benchmark in urban planning and destination living designed to support Dubai’s aviation, tourism, commercial and logistics requirements until 2050 and beyond, and represents one of the most important developments in the history of the United Arab Emirates.

In perspective, the total dedicated land area is almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island and expected to have an ultimate population of 945,000 people working and living within its borders.

The master plan is composed of six inter-related mini-cities; each carefully planned to satisfy good quality living and work environment, through integrated high quality living standards, while contributing to DWC’s functional organisational structure.

• DWC, with infrastructure costs estimated at US$ 33 billion, comprises the following developments:

DWC-Al Maktoum International Airport
DWC Aviation City
Dubai Logistics City (DLC)
DWC Residential City
DWC Commercial City, and
DWC Golf City

• DWC is backed by the Government of Dubai and is chaired by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman, Dubai Aviation City Corporation, Government of Dubai.
• DWC also creates the world’s first fully-integrated, multi- modal logistics platform in a single, customs-controlled zone

Meydan Project

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.



Meydan IBMS Network Diagram

          



For the initial phase of this project, the Intelligent Building Management System developed by Pacific Controls encompasses the five star hotel-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 user 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.

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.

Cisco connected real estate solution from pacific controls aims at converging the building management systems across different buildings to a single unified platform, interface with any embedded device imaginable, regardless of manufacturer or communication protocol.

It models the data and behavior of the devices into normalized software components, providing a seamless, uniform view of device data to the enterprise via a variety of ip-based protocols and open api’s.

This is an ict implementation where the ibms, application & database servers are located remotely at the cisco data centre in Amsterdam and the cisco call manager in cisco Bahrain data center. The multi-protocol building systems communicate with these servers.

Centralized monitoring and controlling means better efficiency, performance and energy savings.

It is possible to make virtual visit to each and every system from a single location. Thus cisco and pacific controls has joined together to produce the best solution world wide for connecting real estates.
