The Dew Project — subcontracting of the reinforced concrete works for the exhibition area within the Dubai Exhibition Center — was completed by DEA YAPI for the Samsung Baytur JV on a 154,752 m² construction area in 2008. The building foundation was designed as an integrated foundation system comprising isolated footings, raft foundations, and basement retaining walls.
Executed under the main contracting of the Samsung Baytur Joint Venture, the project’s reinforced concrete work package was undertaken by DEA YAPI. An exhibition area of this scale requires meticulous coordination of simultaneous excavation, formwork, rebar, and concrete pouring operations across a wide area with varying ground conditions. Isolated footings were used to carry point loads, raft foundations to transfer distributed loads over large areas, and basement retaining walls were fabricated to withstand lateral earth pressures. Concrete quality control in line with international main contractor standards was continuously monitored throughout the project.
Dubai is positioned as the Middle East’s global trade, tourism, and exhibition hub, home to one of the world’s fastest-growing construction markets. Mega projects such as the Dubai Exhibition Center are defined by international quality standards, multinational labor coordination, and fast-paced delivery schedules. Taking on subcontractor roles in such projects requires mastery of international construction norms.
Since 1988, DEA YAPI has brought its international project experience — cultivated alongside Türkiye’s leading contractors — with technical discipline and international quality standards to the Samsung Baytur Dubai project.
