10 May Air | Rescue for Super High Rise Buildings
HH Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum inaugurated the 20th edition of Intersec. The event will reflect a new era in the development of a Fire and Rescue team that can respond to any high-rise vertical and aerial rescue.
In the past, during two other inauguration ceremonies attended by Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ivan Kristoff explained that he is working on a new concept for vertical and aerial rescue on a super high-rise.
His Highness Sheikh Mansoor officially inaugurated the 19th edition of the Intersec trade fair and exhibition, which saw participation from 1,304 exhibitors from 58 countries and welcomed 32,750 visitors from around the world. For the 2oth edition of Intersec 2018, we expect it to be bigger, more comprehensive and more futuristic!
The three-day event is taking place at Halls 1 to 8, plus the Saeed 1,2, 3 and Arena Halls. Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center from 21 to 23 January. Last year, H.H. Sheikh Mansour, who had visited Ivan Kristoff’s exhibition in Dubai twice, visited a broad spectrum of stands throughout the exhibition halls, including those of the Dubai Police, UAE Civil Defense, and leading world brands in safety and security. The leading trade fair for Security, Safety and Fire Protection with more than 1,300 exhibitors and 33,000 visitors.
“A new concept for Mid Air Rope Rescue with High Reference on super high-rise buildings will be one of the highlights of my presentation. I already introduced to Sheikh Mansoor, the Prince of Dubai, who is a helicopter pilot of Blackhawk Apache what can be innovative in the world of vertical operations”, says Ivan Kristoff.
