Imran Shaikh, Chair of CIBSE UAE and Director of MEP & Specialisms at Ramboll Middle East, was recently featured in MEP Middle East for his leadership on one of Dubai’s most high-profile new developments, the Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab resort.

In an interview, Imran shared insight into the engineering strategy behind this ultra-luxury, super-yacht inspired destination. The project exemplifies how smart MEP design, from early-stage BIM coordination to district cooling and concealed service integration, plays a pivotal role in delivering architectural ambition with performance and sustainability at its core.

Imran’s contribution to this landmark scheme reflects the strength of CIBSE’s presence in the UAE and underlines the global relevance of building services expertise across the Institution’s international networks.

This feature is a great example of CIBSE members leading the conversation on engineering excellence in the region. We are proud to see CIBSE UAE and its leadership gaining visibility and recognition for driving forward innovation and best practice in the built environment.
