Atlantis 2 – Dubai, UAE

Located on the crescent of Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis 2 (officially known as The Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences) represents one of Dubai’s most ambitious architectural achievements.

During the construction phase, Rapid-EPS supplied Rapid Posts and Rapid Panels via BESIX, delivering reliable, engineered edge protection solutions across this landmark’s striking multi-tower structure.

Our systems supported safe working at height during complex façade, glazing, and structural operations — ensuring compliance and productivity on a truly global showcase project.

Project Overview

Rapid-EPS’ Role & Edge Protection Contribution

Products Supplied

• Rapid Posts — primary vertical supports along slab edges, façades, and void perimeters.
• Rapid Panels — lightweight, modular guard panels integrating with posts to create continuous, compliant protection lines.

Together, these systems provided robust, easily adaptable perimeter protection across multiple elevations — from sky bridge levels to open façade platforms.

Collaboration

Working in partnership with BESIX, Rapid-EPS coordinated equipment supply and installation sequencing to suit the project’s dynamic schedule.

Deliveries were phased to align with structural and façade progress, ensuring that edge protection could be installed, repositioned, and re-used as works advanced through the towers.

Challenges & Solutions

Challenge 1 — Cantilevered structures and sky bridge zones
The building’s unique form includes dramatic overhangs and connecting bridges suspended between towers.
→ Solution: Rapid Posts and Panels were configured to follow non-linear slab edges and maintain protection across complex geometry and bridge installations.

Challenge 2 — Variable floor layouts and façade setbacks
Each tower features stepped heights and different perimeter profiles.
→ Solution: The modularity of Rapid-EPS systems enabled custom adjustments on each level while preserving a continuous guard line.

Challenge 3 — High elevation and wind load exposure
Operating at heights over 200 metres required wind-resistant edge protection.
→ Solution: Rapid Posts were securely anchored by their compression design and panel spacing was optimised to minimise deflection under load.

Challenge 4 — Tight site logistics on Palm Jumeirah
Access and staging space were limited along the crescent road.
→ Solution: Lightweight, modular components allowed quick handling and installation, reducing onsite storage and lifting requirements.

Why It Matters
