C U S T O M E R S E R V I C E

Ducab is the premier cable manufacturer in the United Arab Emirates and, since 1979, has been meeting the

requirements of customers throughout the GCC, Middle East and Asian markets. Ducab cables are preferred for the

following reasons:

PRODUCT QUALITY

Ducab is committed to supplying its customers with the highest quality of product and of service. Ducabs cables have

been type approved by recognized certifying bodies such as BASEC UK (British Approval Service for Cables), Lloyds

Register of the UK, KEMA Netherland, LPCB UK ( Loss Prevention Certification Board), ESMA

(Emirates Authority for standardization and Metrology). They fully conform to BS, IEC other

international and national specifications.

In addition, Ducab was presented with the Dubai Quality Award 1994, for the best local industrial

company of the year. Ducab won Dubai Quality Gold Category award twice, in 1998 and in 2004.

The Gold Award rewards the most distinguished companies which are judged to be world class

and Ducab is the only manufacturing company in the region to win such acclaim.

Ducab has won the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MRM) Business Excellence Award in manufacturing

category in 2009. Recognizing quality products and services, Ducab has also won the Superbrand award for 4 years

consecutively from 2009.

RELIABILITY

Specifying the right cable for a particular application is the first step. The key to reliability however, is in the manufacturing

process. The cable must be free from material and manufacturing defects, and weaknesses that will be revealed in

service.

Ducab constantly monitors its manufacturing processes and operates stringent quality assurance procedures to give

long term reliability. This is of vital significance where cables are to be installed in locations where future access would

be difficult and this is where Ducabs reputation and resources give peace of mind.

PERFORMANCE

Optimum cable performance can be provided only by a company such as Ducab, with access to the latest developments

in materials technology. In addition, Ducabs knowledge of application requirements throughout the Middle and Far East

is an assurance of high performance.

Our experienced Technical Staff can provide guidance on cable selection and installation and can ensure that you get

the right cable for the job.

HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CERTIFIED TO OHSAS 18001

Ducab is able to maintain a close watch on world developments in cable technology

and regulations and therefore ensure that its products are designed and constructed

to be hazard-free under the prescribed conditions of use.

Ducab uses only tried and tested materials and processes in full compliance with all

relevant British and International Standards. Our cables are therefore manufactured

for safe use without risk to health on the understanding that users will exercise the same degree

of care in their selection and application.

Safety is an important issue for Ducab, and the strictest standards are adhered to throughout the company. Ducab is

proud of its safety record and has been awarded RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Gold Awards

for safety from 1991 to 1999. From 2000 onward, Ducab was awarded the prestigious Presidents Award for Health and

Safety which is a recognition of Ducab winning 10 consecutive annual Gold awards and acknowledges Ducabs total

commitment to health and safety. In 2002, Ducab was declared the joint winner of the Manufacturing Industry Sector

Award from RoSPA.

Service for Cables). Certification to OHSAS 18001 provides a recognisable Occupational Health and Safety Management

standard against which an organisations management systems can be assessed and certified. Based on the structure

of OHSAS 18001, the standard requires continual improvement in health and safety related activities.

Ducab HV (DHV) is the first dedicated high voltage (60kV 150kV) and extra

high voltage (220kV 500kV) power cable manufacturing facility in the Middle

East. The company is a joint venture between Ducab Group (50%); Abu

Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA 25%) and Dubai Electricity

and Water Authority (DEWA 25%).

This unique partnership draws on the collective strengths of its shareholders:

Ducab Group - proven local power cable manufacturing quality up to and

including 132kV. The first of Ducabs factories was erected in Jebel Ali,

Dubai in 1979, under the auspices of BICC, with its first HV cable supplied

in 2004. Now generating turnover in excess of US$1 billion, the Group

manufactures cables in three regionally based factories, including a copper

rod manufacturing facility. In keeping with its pioneering spirit in the region,

Ducab Group still proudly bears the BICC brand and, through DHV, has now

successfully extended its operational base to a fourth factory.

ADWEA and DEWA - represent the two largest water and electricity

authorities in the region and are experienced leaders in the electricity supply

industry. Due to the rapid growth associated with both emirates, each owns,

operates and installs extensive underground (LV, MV, HV and EHV) cable

networks with Abu Dhabi controlling one of the worlds largest 400kV XLPE

underground cable networks.

The DHV facility is a state of the art plant employing the latest machinery and

technology available to produce HV and EHV cable. In order for the factory

to maximise its resources and produce worlds best practice within a reliable

and repeatable process it was decided at the outset to also align with an

experienced cable technology partner.

HV and EHV manufacturing technology has been in existence since the

1960s when Japanese cable makers were the first to produce XLPE insulated

cables in these voltage ranges. A natural fit with a technology leader has

therefore now also been cemented with the signing of a technology transfer

agreement between DHV and J-Power Systems (a Japanese joint venture

company bringing together the combined HV and EHV power cable expertise

of Hitachi and Sumitomo).

The combined experience, technology and know how brought together by

DHVs facilities, its shareholders and its engagement with its technology

partner culminate in making it a formidable player in the power cable market.

The company draws on the best available resources world wide and looks

forward to bringing its customer base Energy at a Higher Level.

The DHV plant was formally inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed

Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice-President, Prime Minister and Ruler of

Dubai on 29 November 2011 and in the presence of His Highness Sheikh

Hamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Crown Princes

Court.

C U S T O M E R S E R V I C E

Ducab is the premier cable manufacturer in the United Arab Emirates and, since 1979, has been meeting the

requirements of customers throughout the GCC, Middle East and Asian markets. Ducab cables are preferred for the

following reasons:

PRODUCT QUALITY

Ducab is committed to supplying its customers with the highest quality of product and of service. Ducabs cables have

been type approved by recognized certifying bodies such as BASEC UK (British Approval Service for Cables), Lloyds

Register of the UK, KEMA Netherland, LPCB UK ( Loss Prevention Certification Board), ESMA

(Emirates Authority for standardization and Metrology). They fully conform to BS, IEC other

international and national specifications.

In addition, Ducab was presented with the Dubai Quality Award 1994, for the best local industrial

company of the year. Ducab won Dubai Quality Gold Category award twice, in 1998 and in 2004.

The Gold Award rewards the most distinguished companies which are judged to be world class

and Ducab is the only manufacturing company in the region to win such acclaim.

Ducab has won the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MRM) Business Excellence Award in manufacturing

category in 2009. Recognizing quality products and services, Ducab has also won the Superbrand award for 4 years

consecutively from 2009.

RELIABILITY

Specifying the right cable for a particular application is the first step. The key to reliability however, is in the manufacturing

process. The cable must be free from material and manufacturing defects, and weaknesses that will be revealed in

service.

Ducab constantly monitors its manufacturing processes and operates stringent quality assurance procedures to give

long term reliability. This is of vital significance where cables are to be installed in locations where future access would

be difficult and this is where Ducabs reputation and resources give peace of mind.

PERFORMANCE

Optimum cable performance can be provided only by a company such as Ducab, with access to the latest developments

in materials technology. In addition, Ducabs knowledge of application requirements throughout the Middle and Far East

is an assurance of high performance.

Our experienced Technical Staff can provide guidance on cable selection and installation and can ensure that you get

the right cable for the job.

HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CERTIFIED TO OHSAS 18001

Ducab is able to maintain a close watch on world developments in cable technology

and regulations and therefore ensure that its products are designed and constructed

to be hazard-free under the prescribed conditions of use.

Ducab uses only tried and tested materials and processes in full compliance with all

relevant British and International Standards. Our cables are therefore manufactured

for safe use without risk to health on the understanding that users will exercise the same degree

of care in their selection and application.

Safety is an important issue for Ducab, and the strictest standards are adhered to throughout the company. Ducab is

proud of its safety record and has been awarded RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Gold Awards

for safety from 1991 to 1999. From 2000 onward, Ducab was awarded the prestigious Presidents Award for Health and

targets to reduce the significant environmental impacts associated with its activities.

Ducab is proud to be the first cable manufacturer in the region to achieve certification to ISO 14001 and this certification

along with its quality, business success and safety record demonstrates that Ducab is a world class organisation and

All buildings and structures are at risk from fire and so are the people who use them.

The threat which a fire poses isnt confined to the flames and the heat. Smoke, fumes and acid gases produced from the many items within a buildings structure, fabric and fittings can spread quickly during a fire.

The structural services of the building, including the underfloor voids and vertical riser ducts which accommodate cables, can aid the spread of fire and the spread of the smoke and fumes which the fire produces.

These essential structural features form natural draught corridors which spread the problem of smoke and fumes to areas of the building which may not be affected by the fire itself putting people at risk.

Installing Ducab Smokemaster cables can reduce the threat to life by extending the escape and rescue time available.

Smoke diminishes the time available by reducing visibility, hindering mobility and causing bodily harm.

Corrosive acids are formed when the gases released by fire come into contact with moisture. The moisture could be in the air, or could be generated by automatic sprinkler systems. Acid gases are poisonous irritants to people inhaling them. They also attack the electronic circuitry of sophisticated equipment used in modern offices causing costly damage. Ducab Smokemaster does not produce acid gas.

Ducab Smokemaster cables provide improved fire protection and reduce the risk to building occupants. They are slow to ignite, burn slowly and most importantly, give out negligible amounts of smoke and fumes during a fire.

Much more time is available to enable the orderly evacuation of people from buildings when a fire is discovered. Besides the time needed for people to evacuate a building, extra time is essential to the emergency services personnel who have to enter the building to control and extinguish the fire and assist those needing help.

Ducab Smokemaster cables resist ignition- extending the time before cables start to burn in a fire, providing more time to escape.

Ducab Smokemaster cables reduce fire propagation- by bing slow to burn, reducing the immediate threat and extending escape time.

Ducab Smokemaster cables reduce smoke to a minimum - reducing disorientation, confusion and panic. With little smoke, people can see the EXIT routes clearly and have more time to follow them to safety. Emergency services have more time to operate effectively.

Ducab Smokemaster cables do not contain halogens - hydrochloric acid is not formed during a fire. There is no threat of inhalation of this highly irritant chemical and no damage to sensitive or costly equipment.

Multi-storey Buildings

Heavily populatedwith people

Frequent visitorsto the building

Design Considerations

A typical multi-storey public building will include many different rooms and facilities including bedrooms, kitchens, communal living and dining areas.

Some floors may be densely populated. There may be visitors who will not be familiar with a buildings layout,and there may be people with limited mobility.

A number of circuits are required for lighting and power supply.Ducab Smokemaster cables can be specified for all these applications, so that people in all parts of the building have longer to evacuate in the event of a fire.
