November 13, 2006—Culligan International Company, a global innovator of high-quality water treatment solutions for business and residential use, has announced that Culligan International (Emirates), its affiliate in Dubai , has been named as the water treatment contractor of choice for the world’s soon-to-be tallest building, the Burj Dubai skyscraper.
Also known as the Dubai Tower, the $1 billion venture, which is promoted by Emaar Properties, is expected to be completed by the end of 2008. It is located in the heart of the Downtown Burj Dubai district in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and will be more than 700 meters (2,296 feet) and more than 160 stories tall.
This flagship construction project attracted competitive bids from all over the world, and Culligan’s Dubai affiliate was selected to provide multimedia filters to supply drinking water to the building as well as chilled water treatment for the tower’s air conditioning system.
“The Dubai Tower is a showcase of the world’s best in class technology. Culligan’s selection is a testament to the value of Culligan’s water expertise and advanced water treatment solutions on a global scale, given the scope of this project and the technology required to bring it to fruition,” said Jim Coleman, Chief Marketing Officer, Culligan International Company.
For more than 70 years, Culligan has been recognized as a world-leading provider of water softeners and filtration systems that improve water quality in the home and workplace. For more information, see the Web site.
