The project
In the heart of Kuwait City stands the Al
Hamra Business Tower. Its 414 meters
and innovative design make it the city’s
tallest building and the world’s highest
sculpted tower. It houses 80 floors as well
as a luxury shopping center hosting the
world’s leading fashion brands. A sky
lounge on the top floors gives visitors a
spectacular view over Kuwait City and the
Arabian Gulf. Because it is a multipurpose
building, thousands of people come to
the Al Hamra Business Tower every day.
To guarantee the safety of both people
and assets, a reliable fire safety solution
was needed for Kuwait’s new landmark.
The Al Hamra Real Estate Co.
needed a reliable fire protection
system specifically designed for
high-rise buildings for its new
business tower.
The challenge
When it comes to fire safety, high-rise
buildings pose a special challenge be-
cause they pose a much higher and more
complex risk than small buildings. One of
the reasons is that high-rise buildings
contain many different environments,
from restaurant kitchens to offices and
server rooms, they all need custom fire
protection solutions. In case of an event,
thousands of people on all floors also have
to be evacuated safely and in an orderly
manner. That’s why the Siemens Solution
Partner Al Kulaib Universal Co. offered
the FireFinder
TM
XLSV, a highly sophisticat-
ed life safety solution, for the Al Hamra
Business Tower.
