Expo 2020 is talk of the town and preparations are in full swing for the same. KEO International Consultants, engineering and project management firm is providing design and construction supervision services for the Expo Village, the residential community development being developed by the Dubai World Trade Centre, which will host visitors and participants for Expo 2020 Dubai.
KEO has previously been commissioned to concept design the buildings and infrastructure of the entire Expo Village and provide full design and construction supervision of Phase 1 of the development. The development is expected to be delivered by the fourth quarter of 2019 and promises to be a community based development defined by efficient design coupled with high sustainability principles.
KEO has already completed the technical design for 6 parcels and provided the supervision services for piling works of 5 parcels and the first main contractor has been awarded with more supervision work underway.
Donna Sultan, President and CEO of KEO said: “We are very proud to be the Design Consultant of a legacy development such as the Expo Village, which will support the successful delivery of Expo 2020 Dubai – the first World Expo to be held in the region. The completion of the design phase and the supervision is only made successful through the dedicated efforts of our international team of experts and the effective collaboration with the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC) as well as the various stakeholders involved.”
This development remains a key win for KEO and represents one of the vital developments for Expo 2020, which will serve as the residential community for the upcoming Expo 2020 with about 2,273 apartment units that will provide a home for thousands of Expo participants. It will also include amenitised retail and community facilities comprising of a school, day care centre, and a healthcare facility to provide a real sense of community and amenity.
