We are also one of the leading exporters of thermal insulation to the Gulf region, India, Pakistan and some of the African countries. Hapri Insulation is under the license of HAPRI Werk Baustoff Gmbh (Germany). We are manufacturing rigid Polyurethane/Polyisocyanurate panels for the application of thermal insulation system. Our company was established in June 2003, to meet the requirements of the Middle East region, especially to concentrate more on the UAE market. Since the establishment on track, HAPRI is committed to provide best quality services, providing cost effective solutions according to customers’ needs, providing products matching the new and dynamic infrastructure. HAPRI products are particularly tailored to meet the necessity of local and global market. Our products are approved by Dubai Civil Defense, certified by Dubai Central Laboratory (Building Material Section, Dubai Municipality), Environment Friendly matching all the necessary requirement for Green Building and LEED Certification. Hapri Insulation Boards are Fire Rated and certified by Warrington Fire. HAPRI Pre-Insulated ducts are made of CFC Free Polyurethane (PUR)/Polyisocyanurate (PIR) with purely embossed aluminum of 80 micron on both sides or 80 micron on one side and 200 micron on the other side. ISO duct panels are used for air distribution in ventilation, heating and air -conditioning systems (HVAC) is available in different thickness and densities. With ISO panels, extremely high quality ducting can be achieved with the combination of aluminum and excellent insulation of PIR. What areareare thethethe environmental benefits ofofof Polyiso insulation? Polyiso insulation is an ideal choice for green building designs because it offers: Reduced fossil fuel consumption. Well-insulated buildings reduce the need for energy, thereby reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Highest Thermal Efficiency – Polyiso is the most thermally efficient insulation available in the marketplace, as determined using Long Term Thermal Resistance (LTTR) values, a 15 year time-weighted R-value. Zero Ozone Depletion Potential – Hapri Insulation Materials Manufacturing produce rigid foam board with zero ozone-depleting blowing agents. All Polyiso products are now HCFC-free and CFC-free. Zero Global Warming Potential – Hapri produced rigid foam board with zero global warming potential blowing agents. This quality is critical as the impact of climate change, or global warming, is acknowledged as a worldwide environmental concern. Recycled Content – Virtually all Polyiso insulation is manufactured using recycled material. The percentage of the recycled material by weight depends on the individual manufacturer and the thickness of the product. Many facers on Hapri Polyiso products contain up to 100% recycled materials.

  • Dubai [Metro]Polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia
    Dubai [Metro]polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia When Dubai Metro was launched in 2009, it became a new catalyst for urban change but also a modern tool to interact with the city - providing a visual experience and an unprecedented perception of moving in space and time, almost at the edge between the imaginary and the real. By drawing on the traditional association between train, perception and the city we argue that the design and planning of Dubai Metro is intended as a signifier of modernity for the Gulf region, with its futuristic designs and in the context of the local socio-cultural associations. NADIA MOUNAJJED INTRODUCTION Abu Dhabi University For the last four decades, Dubai epitomized a model for post-oil Gulf cities and positioned itself as a subject for visionary thinking and urban experimentation. PAOLO CARATELLI During the years preceding 2008, Dubai became almost a site of utopia - evoking Abu Dhabi University a long tradition of prolific visionary thinking about the city – particularly 1970s utopian projects. Today skyscrapers, gated communities, man-made islands, iconic buildings and long extended waterfronts, dominate the cityscape. Until now, most of the projects are built organically within a fragmented urban order, often coexisting in isolation within a surrounding incoherence. When inaugu- rated in 2009, Dubai Metro marked the beginning of a new association between urbanity, mobility and modernity. It marked the start of a new era for urban mass transit in the Arabian Peninsula and is now perceived as an icon of the emirate’s modern urbanity (Ramos, 2010, Decker, 2009, Billing, n.

Our estimates show a positive effect of the metro Available online: October 6, 2015 on sale values of both residential and commercial properties, although the effect is stronger for commercial properties. The models also reveal that the effect of the metro on the value of dwellings and commercial properties is largest within 701 to 900 meters of a metro station and is about 13 percent and 76 percent, respectively. 1 Introduction A large number of researchers have examined the effect of rail systems on property values and the range of estimates varies substantially across studies (Mohammad et al. 2013). The majority of studies sug- gests that proximity to rail stations enhances property values (e.g., Laakso 1992; Pan and Zhang 2008; Voith 1991; Weinberger 2001), some indicate a negative impact at certain locations mainly due to negative environmental externalities (e.g., Bolling, Ihlanfeldt, and Bowes 1998; Cervero 2003; Du and Mulley 2006), and a few show no noticeable effect (Gatzlaff and Smith 1993).

  • Dubai Public Transport Bus Master Plan – a New Era of Public Transport Services in the World’S Fastest Developing City
    DUBAI PUBLIC TRANSPORT BUS MASTER PLAN – A NEW ERA OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICES IN THE WORLD’S FASTEST DEVELOPING CITY Jürgen Kaiser PTV Planung Transport Verkehr AG Karlsruhe, Germany INTRODUCTION Along with the distinction of being one of the world’s fastest-growing urban cities, Dubai faces a plethora of new opportunities and challenges. One result of Dubai’s rapid growth is the decentralisation of its main activity centres, which currently consist of Bur Dubai and Deira. Further, the growing demand for land space, will lead to new developments outside the existing residential and commercial areas, especially in the southern parts of Dubai. As a result, the travel pattern is expected to change significantly over the next few years. Today in Dubai, about 700 new vehicles are being registered on a daily and one out of two persons owns a vehicle. By 2020, when Dubai will have more than 5 million inhabitants, the five million car trips currently being generated daily is anticipated to increase to 20 million per day. Traffic congestion has become a part of every day life in Dubai and is a growing problem threatening the overall quality-of-life and economic prosperity of the region. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) which coordinates, organizes and operates all form of transport in Dubai is well aware of the traffic situation and has established following guiding principles as stated in the Strategic Plan 2007-2009: 1 • Integrated land use and transportation plans. • Optimal, integrated and balanced transportation system that meets the needs of all social sectors.

    BASIL LUBBO THE BLACKWALL FRIGATES Digitized by tine Internet Archive in 2008 with funding from IVIicrosoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/blackwallfrigatesOOIubb THE BLACKWALL FRIGATES BY BASIL LUBBOCK Author of "The Ch\na Clippers"; "The Colonial Clippers, "Round the Horn before the Mast"; "Jack Derringer, " a Tale of Deep Water" ; and Deep Sea Warriors" WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND PLANS GLASGOW JAMES BROWN S- SON (Glasgow) Ltd., Publishers 52 TO 58 Darnley Street 1922 v/r Dedication Dedicated to the Blackwall Midshipmite. PREFACE The Blackwall frigates form a connecting link between the lordly East Indiaman of the Honourable John Company and the magnificent P. & O. and Orient liners of the present day. They were first-class ships—well-run, happy ships, and the sailor who started his sea life as a midshipman aboard a Blackwaller looked back ever afterwards to his cadet days as the happiest period of his career. If discipline was strict, it was also just. The train- ing was superb, as witness the number of Blackwall midshipmen who reached the head of their profession and distinguished themselves later in other walks of life. Indeed, as a nursery for British seamen, we shall never see the like of these gallant little frigates. The East still calls, yet its glamour was twice as alluring, its vista twice as romantic, in the days of sail; and happy indeed was the boy who first saw the shores of India from the deck of one of Green's or Smith's passenger ships. Fifty years ago, the lithographs of the celebrated Blackwall liners to India and Australia could be bought at any seaport for a few shillings.
