Emirates Glass is a subsidiary of Dubai Investment and had previously supplied its high-performance glass to the existing Concourse 1 at the Dubai International Airport.

Jerry Dowling, general manager of Emirates Glass, said: “We have been contracted by the main contractors acting on behalf of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority to supply 56,000 square metres of high performance glass to the Concourse 2 project at Dubai International Airport. It is probably one of the most challenging glazing tasks in the world today, considering the shape of the complex structure and glass specifications.’’

He added: “Emirates Glass is one of the few companies capable of carrying out a project of such complexity. The technical know-how and the company's track record in completing major projects will ensure smooth execution of this mission.’’

Concourse 2 is part of Dubai Civil Aviation's $2.5 billion Phase-2 of the airport expansion project. The project also includes construction of Terminal 3, Concourse 3 and a mega cargo terminal.

The company will begin deliveries in autumn this year and the project is expected to be completed by mid-summer 2006.
