Dubai - Al-Futtaim Engineering has won an annual maintenance contract from Abdulsalam Al Rafi Group to maintain elevators at its Burj Al Salam Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai.  

The Al-Futtaim company's Elevator division will service and maintain 22 high-speed, high rise Hitachi elevators which are equipped with state-of-the-art technology including Destination Floor Reservation System (DFRS) wherein passengers register the desired floor at the elevator lobby. An elevator car is assigned to each registered destination floor thereby ensuring transportation efficiency and easing congestion in the elevator during peak hours.
