In the United Arab Emirates (UAE) there is constant development of engineering structures, infrastructure, and construction sites. To ensure that the integrity of these projects is maintained, there is the need for the renewal of engineering classifications.

The periodic requirement for companies to renew their engineering classification ensures that the UAE’s ever-growing dynamic urban environment can be appropriately monitored and maintained in terms of those businesses who are approved to undertake such projects. The infrastructure in place in the UAE is detrimental to the continuous development and to create sustainability in its growth. Through the renewals process, the UAE can effectively reassess the engineering and construction sector.

With the country’s harsh climate and continuous urbanisation, there is the need to ensure that the infrastructure maintains its ongoing durability. The UAE is actively aspiring to be increasingly sustainable, introducing green practices and energy-efficient projects to minimise their environmental impacts.

The fast-paced evolving landscape due to expansion and construction requires careful monitoring and assessment by the UAE authority to ensure compliance and safety standards.
