The General Projects Department of the Dubai Municipality (DM) has completed the work on Lisaili Abattoir project, conforming to green building standards.

Marwan Al Mohammed, director of the general projects department, explained that the abattoir spans 15,000 square metres. "The building is a vital facility for the region and its environs, to provide the best livestock slaughtering and meat storage services, according to the best international standards," he said.

The abattoir also houses offices for administrative staff, doctors and technicians, waiting halls for men and women and a common slaughter hall for small and large animals and camels, as well as refrigerated storages for meat and livestock barns.

The project also includes utilities and other public services such as roads, parking lots and external service buildings as well as the transformer room, water tank and pumping room.

The project aims at implementing the highest standards of quality and discernment, to preserve the environment and society and to achieve the Dubai government's vision to preserve the state's resources, build a green economy and establish an environmentally sustainable city.
