Draka protects the Entrepeneur Business Village

The 25,000-capacity Dubai Sports City cricket stadium has been built with lighting system designed to replicate natural daylight. It is lit up by a 350-plus-floodlight “ring of fire” that has been installed in the rim of the stadium’s roof .

Cables have also been fitted at the Entrepreneur Business Village, a 93,000 square metre, purpose-built conference and meeting centre, which has a child-care facility, gymnasium and health club. 

The cables chosen for the projects included Draka’s Firetuf FTP and Firetuf FT Sifer.

Firetuf FTP is a circuit integrity energy cable that incorporates stranded copper conductors and a protective ‘armour layer’.

Draka’s Firetuf FT Sifer is a single-core, circuit integrity cable that is designed for drawing into trunking and conduit where a fire may pose a major hazard.
