Building Ghadan 21 with Mapei

HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, established Ghadan 21 in 2019 to assist and achieve the transformation of Emirates economy, knowledge ecosystem and community development.

This Executive Committee of Ghadan 21 has already launched more than 50 projects in its first year, with a slew of additional ideas set to be implemented within 2021. In response to the global economic problems of 2020, the Executive Council developed an economic stimulus package to expedite major measures aimed at increasing business ease and lowering living costs.

Mapei, UAE’s leading building materials supplier was a part of this project with their creative skills and products and solutions for the building sector.

Mapei’s Role in the Project

Mapei, the one-stop shop for adhesive products and concrete repair solutions, contributed  its experience in designing safe urban areas. As the best source of products and services for the building sector,  Mapei utilized Mapecoat TNS Race Track, a highly durable substance to coat and color.

• Mapecoat TNS Race Track is an acrylic resin-based, fast-film-forming color coating product manufactured with outstanding physical and mechanical properties, making it ideal for coloring and preserving the surface of concrete and asphalt that receives a lot of foot traffic.
• Mapecoat TNS Race Track may be used as a finishing coat on exterior flooring that requires a high level of slip resistance, such as access and exit routes, ramps, walkways, and so on, thanks to the chosen fillers employed in its unique formulation by the manufacturer.
• A 45-kilometer continuous workout trail track was also constructed in addition to the new cycling lanes.

Mapei, the leading building materials supplier in UAE, is honored to be a part of the Abu Dhabi government's Ghadan 21 investment initiative, which aims to improve the capital's competitiveness in four areas: business and investment, society, knowledge innovation and livability.
