EMCO does a cool job at the resort

Ever wonder what electrical and mechanical products - from air-conditioners to piping systems - are used to run a hotel?

Kyriacos Yiacoumi, the Managing Director of EMCO, a Bahrain-based electro-mechanical contractor which did a cool job for the hotel, explains:

"We recommend and install environmentally-friendly products and systems as part of our commitment to a greener world. At the Novotel Al Dana Resort, we specified Dunham-Bush chillers. Because of their low electricity consumption, each unit is capable of saving enough electricity to pay for itself within five years and their other benefits are reliability, low maintenance and longevity. These screw chillers have been used in Bahrain for the last 35 years, and their reliability has been well proven."

The company also used environmentally-friendly ABS and Ecoflex flexiblepre-insulated piping systems for chilled water and domestic water systems throughout the resort, instead of steel and copper pipes initially specified.

EMCO also installed a Honeywell building management system, which is recognized as one of the best systems in the world. The system, based on LON WORKS technology, is said to offer:

• Improved functionality and comfort through cross vendor inter-operation;
• Reduced energy cost through inter-operation with different applications;
• Simplified installation and lower wiring costs through common cabling;
• Installation flexibility to meet changing automation needs.

EMCO's dedication to quality and efficiency is enhanced by the fact that it is an all-round electro-mechanical contractor.

"Havinga skilled workforce in the fields of electrical, electronic, refrigeration, air-conditioning, plumbing, drainage, fire fighting and maintenance works, has compounded its success in the construction industry in Bahrain and it now is expanding in the Gulf," says Yiacoumi.

EMCO was established in Bahrain 10 years ago.
