Milan Balac from Rental Solutions and Services
Rental Solutions & Services (RSS) was honoured as the ‘Specialist Contractor of the Year’ at the MEP Awards 2009.
The judges said the company “has made its mark in the local construction industry by providing a specialised and much-needed niche service.”
RSS provides temporary power and cooling to various companies in the GCC. It is able to bridge the gap between the suppliers (i.e. district cooling) and end users (such as the Dubai Metro for the RTA) in various applications. The company is thus able to come to the rescue of various suppliers who could not deliver their power projects on-time, as well as district cooling companies who were delayed in their handover schedule.

The judges added: “RSS has provided its services to a wide client base on some very impressive projects, and in so doing has ably demonstrated its ability to play a key role in the industry.” These projects include the Dubai Metro, Yas Island and Al Reem in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain Bay, Discovery Gardens, Dubai Academic City, Dubai Sports City, Jebel Ali Airport, JLT, Meydan Dubai, Dubai Motor City and the Palladium Media City.
For the Dubai Metro, for example, the company provided temporary cooling to 12 stations from Rashidiya to Jebel Ali so as to enable the official launch on 9/9/9. RSS provided 29 acoustically-containerised generators ranging from 400 to 1250 kVA plus 53 air-cooled chillers (total 9 940 TR). This is the largest temporary cooling project to date for a utility client.
