From the onset, safety and worker welfare have been top priorities. Our innovative visitor-centric alternative to traditional carbon credit purchase saw key stakeholders and visitors engaged to nominate and decide which carbon credit projects Expo will support.Įxpo is a landmark program for safety in the region. We further supported Expo to implement a program to reduce and offset their carbon footprint. This analysis considered all impacts that are a consequence of the Expo, using multiple standards and protocols. Our team supported Expo to develop a multi-year Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory to assess the total environmental impact of the event. Sustainable urban development principles informed our approach at each stage of delivery from the design and construction of the base build, temporary construction and overlay used during the Expo event and legacy transition planning which has enabled Expo to achieve global recognition for sustainable infrastructure.Įxpo certified 95 buildings as LEED-Gold and four LEED-Platinum based on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ( LEED), which provided a framework to assess resource efficient green buildings based on various green building strategies employed in their delivery. Expo also adhered to the CEEQUAL sustainability rating system and through its evidence-based sustainability assessment rating and awards scheme, achieved a CEEQUAL Excellent certification for site infrastructure and public realm spaces. This strategy not only supported Sustainability as a subtheme of Expo, but also aligned to the objectives of the Dubai Plan 2021, the UAE Vision 2021 and the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To inspire all visitors to become part of the solution for a sustainable future.To ensure that Expo 2020 Dubai embraces the opportunity to make a meaningful impact extending beyond the site and beyond the six months of the event.To i ntegrate sustainability into all aspects of the program from the design and construction of the site, through the event operations, and the transition to District 2020.To support Expo 2020 to deliver on their objective to host “one of the most sustainable World Expos in history”, Jacobs defined a sustainability strategy focused on three key objectives: Smooth roads also reduce the likelihood of damage to materials as they travel to the site, further saving time and resources. Having more robust, permanent roads has saved money and time, and improved delivery reliability. There was also a strong focus on value engineering – like our solution for traffic maintenance and temporary roads during construction, where our team proposed converting temporary roads into more permanent roads. This included initiatives such as optimizing pedestrian movement through the site to reduce walking times and ease movement between transport nodes and entrances smart ways of using passive shading and retractable shade structures instead of expensive and more energy intensive outdoor cooling systems and minimizing the effort and cost required in the conversion between event-time pedestrian concourses and shared pedestrian roads in legacy, an approach that is unique in Dubai. From detailed site logistics to expert stakeholder engagement, we managed the program to deliver the highest quality while meeting budget and rigorous scheduling requirements.įrom the outset, our delivery team sought to identify efficiencies during the master planning stage that would enhance the visitor experience during event time and minimize effort and cost in transitioning the site to legacy. Our team of visionaries, thinkers and doers employed comprehensive program management solutions to deliver a successful Expo event. Jacobs leveraged its experience delivering successful major programs including the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the ongoing FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 to bring world-class experience and global best practices to Dubai. As Program Management Consultant, the JV assisted Expo in managing numerous individual projects that ran 24/7 including design management, urban planning and design, program baselines and controls, procurement services, construction project management, site logistics and cost control. Jacobs delivered the program as a joint venture with Mace (Jacobs Mace JV).
