Farnek will be the first FM company to install the Dubai Municipality-approved germ-free disinfectant
Farnek, the UAE-based technology and sustainability-driven facilities management (FM) company, has installed a ‘Sanitization Gateway’ which will disinfect all staff, upon leaving and returning to their accommodation centres.
The disinfectant system works via a Fog Gate, or disinfection tunnel, which sprays staff with a highly efficient, non-toxic, pH-neutral and durable disinfectant. The mist is completely harmless and dries in seconds, after employees pass through. The gateway is regularly sterilized and cleaned by a team of highly trained specialists from Farnek.
“These sanitization gateways are highly effective, extremely efficient and very practical. It literally takes seconds to walk through and the disinfectant dries almost immediately, ensuring that our teams will be protected from the virus and will not inadvertently spread the virus should they become exposed,” averred Markus Oberlin, CEO, Farnek.
Farnek will implement a Dubai Municipality-approved environmentally friendly and non-toxic disinfectant solution, which kills over 99.99% of all bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores.
If successful, the pilot scheme, the first to be employed in a commercial capacity, will be rolled out across all of Farnek’s staff accommodation centres in the UAE.
A similar sanitisation system has already been installed at Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station to protect essential workers, using the bus transport system. It too is expected to be rolled out at other transport hubs around the country.
