UAE-based Azizi Developments has signed an agreement with International Foundation Group, a specialist in deep foundation and ground solutions, to provide piling, shoring, excavation, and dewatering works for its key Dubai skyscraper project - Burj Azizi. 
 
Located at a prime plot of land on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road, it is poised to become the second tallest tower in the world once completed, said the Emirati developer in a statement.
 
It will feature a vertical shopping mall, luxury residences and opulent penthouses, a 7-star hotel, a one-of-its-kind observation deck, and numerous high-end F&B options, among other unique and breath-taking features and amenities.
 
Burj Azizi is scheduled for completion within 4 years, stated the developer. 
 
"Our strategic partnership with International Foundation Group for the critical piling, shoring, excavation, and dewatering operations for Burj Azizi is one that excites us very much," remarked its CEO Farhad Azizi. 
 
IFG is a major Emirati expert in deep foundation and ground solutions, renowned for quality and timely project completion. 
 
It is the fastest-growing Middle Eastern micro-tunneling company, distinguished by its reliance on internal expertise and cutting-edge equipment from top European and Japanese manufacturers. 
 
The company, he stated, offers a comprehensive suite of services including Non-Disruptive Road Crossings, Piled Foundations, Retaining Walls, and Soil Improvement, catering to diverse construction needs with precision and innovation.
 
"This collaboration underscores our dedication to excellence and innovation in delivering iconic projects that elevate the standards of excellence not only in the UAE’s - but also in the world’s – construction and real estate landscape," he added.
 
In another development, Azizi picked up an Emirati company Unigulf Development to supply soft thermal insulation material for its mixed-use Dubai South development, Azizi Venice, and the fourth phase of its mega-project, Riviera, located in the heart of MBR City. 
 
Founded in 1998, Unigulf Development is a key player in sustainable solutions across renewable energy, green IT, and sustainable agriculture. 
 
The company previously transitioned from biomass technologies to innovative energy solutions, including a patented system for converting mechanical movement into electricity, and addresses water scarcity and promotes sustainable farming. Community engagement and strong corporate governance reflect its commitment to a greener future.
 
"The Unigulf collaboration will elevate our projects to new heights of energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Together, we will create iconic, eco-friendly spaces that exemplify our shared commitment to quality, excellence, and sustainable living," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
