Houston-based Ashbrook Simon-Hartley has signed a three-year contract to provide water treatment equipment for Atlantis, The Palm, a 2,000-room destination resort complex under development on the island of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
In addition to generating record revenue on a single deal for Ashbrook, the size and scope of the Middle East project add a new dimension to company operations.
"Over the years, we have built many water treatment facilities in many parts of the world, but none so unique as this one," notes Ashbrook President Bob Williams.
Atlantis, The Palm is being developed on the coast of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates by Kerzner International Limited, an international developer and operator of destination resorts, casinos and luxury hotels.
Kerzner, with nearly 6,400 employees, developed a similar project with Atlantis, Paradise Island, site of the company's headquarters in The Bahamas.
Atlantis, The Palm's water park will cover 60 acres, almost twice the size of the 34-acre marine environment enclave on Paradise Island.
Kerzner officials could not be reached for comment.
On the company's web site, Kerzner Chairman Sol Kerzner describes the water theme park as the centerpiece of the Atlantis, The Palm project.
Landing a contract for work on The Palm in Dubai gives Ashbrook a piece of the action in one of the world's most ambitious resort projects.
