Developers of the Elite Residence project in Dubai have announced that Tiger Steel will be providing fabricated steel for the development.

The supplier, which will be awarded the contract officially by main contractor Arabian Construction Company later this week, has been chosen because of its proven track record and competitive edge.

It will be one of three steel suppliers to the project, alongside Cicon, which is providing reinforced steel (rebar), and Freyssinet, which is currently supplying steel for the post-tensioning.

The fabricated steel will be used for the roof feature at the very top of the 91-storey building, which will take the form of a crown in line with the ‘elite theme’.

Tameer’s development director Darren Ingram said: “The tendering is already done and we have made the decision to use Tiger Steel for the structural steel for Elite. The nomination is currently under process, and ACC will be announcing the contract officially later this week.

“Tiger Steel has already done work on the Elite project. We chose the company based on its proven track record here as well as its competitive edge.”

When finished, the Elite Residence project, which is already half constructed and progressing well towards its completion date, will provide 697 residential units overlooking the Palm Jumeirah, located close to Dubai Marina.
