Dubai Harbour — AV System Asset Care for Luxury Marina Development

THE CHALLENGE

Dubai Harbour stands as one of the UAE’s most prestigious waterfront destinations, featuring the region’s largest marina with 700+ berths accommodating superyachts up to 160 metres, complemented by luxury residential architecture designed by Nikken Sekkei—the world’s second-largest architecture firm.

The development’s common areas and marina facilities feature sophisticated audiovisual systems essential to premium guest experiences and operational excellence:

• Entertainment lounges and dining requiring flawless AV for guest events and hospitality
• Event and conference spaces supporting corporate and social gatherings
• Lobby and wayfinding displays creating sophisticated arrival experiences
• Outdoor aft deck systems supporting outdoor entertainment in marine environment
• Marina operations displays supporting berth management and guest communication

Maintaining complex AV infrastructure across this scale demands more than reactive fixes. It requires systematic asset care ensuring systems perform reliably, consistently, and predictably throughout their operational lifespan.

ELEVATE Infrastructure, the technology partner responsible for Dubai Harbour’s operations, engaged Prysmedge to deliver comprehensive AV asset care for all common area and marina audiovisual systems across the development.

THE SOLUTION

Prysmedge was appointed under an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) to deliver asset care for all AV systems in Dubai Harbour’s common areas and marina facilities.

Rather than reactive maintenance (fixing problems after they occur), Prysmedge’s approach is systematic asset care ensuring systems remain optimized throughout their operational lifespan:

• Preventive maintenance identifying and addressing component wear before failure
• Predictive care monitoring system health and trending toward issues
• Proactive optimization maintaining picture and audio quality standards
• Scheduled replacements of wear items on predictable intervals (batteries, bulbs, fans, filters)
• Professional support expert troubleshooting and repair capability
