The City Municipality has been active in rolling out awareness campaigns, virtual workshops, and on-site inspections to ensure compliance and reinforce safety practices.

In June 2024, a “Safety in the Heat” workshop highlighted employers’ responsibilities under Decision 401, covering heat-stress prevention, hydration, and emergency preparedness. It emphasized that employers must provide shaded rest zones, cold water, salt-infused hydration, and first aid resources. Strict enforcement comes with significant fines for violations.

WORKERS REST FROM 12:30 PM–3:00 PM

A September 2024 follow-up workshop reviewed gains from the midday ban, citing noticeable improvements in worker well-being and productivity. The session brought together municipality officials,

contractors, and safety specialists to share best practices and lessons learned.

Throughout July 2023 and April 2025, municipal inspectors carried out field campaigns at workplace construction sites across Abu Dhabi Island. They reinforced the midday ban, monitored hydration protocols, and checked for proper rest spaces and sun protection.

This annual pause is unique in the region and underscores Abu Dhabi’s commitment to occupational health and safety. It’s backed by a legal framework and sustained oversight, ensuring that workers are protected from the hazards of peak summer heat.

DESIGNING WITH PURPOSE, DELIVERING WITH INTEGRITY

IN THIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH EMIRATES PROJECTS, STUART ALLEN SHARES THE STORY BEHIND AAID’S JOURNEY OF SHAPING MIDDLE EAST’S SKYLINE.

AAID’s unique design philosophy is contributing to Middle East’s ambitious future. From iconic projects and prestigious clients to navigating local challenges and opportunities, Stuart offers a compelling look at what it takes to design for a nation on the rise.

EMIRATES PROJECTS: Stuart, could you begin by telling us a bit about your background and what led to the founding of AAID?

STUART ALLEN: Moving to the USA in my early teens and being educated in America has allowed me to call myself an expat for the majority of my life. While I’ve always been aware of my roots, I’ve embraced the influence of the places I’ve lived, which has guided my choices and career in an indirect but meaningful way.

Living and working all over the US helped me develop the ability to adapt across different markets and skillsets. From working on a ranch to touring with a band, these experiences taught me to evolve with my environment. When I eventually found my design career, I realised it had always been my calling, I just hadn’t seen it in front of me.

I’ve always pushed myself and challenged the boundaries of what I do. Sometimes it’s been unconventional, but struggle and hardship have fuelled my drive and determination. Founding AAID came through risk, persistence, and the dream of building a design studio I would want to be a part of, one rooted in integrity and a commitment to doing things the right way. That’s what I believe we’re about, and hopefully others see that too.

EMIRATES PROJECTS: AAID has a strong and expanding presence in the GCC. When did you first begin working in Saudi Arabia, and what attracted you to the Kingdom?

STUART ALLEN: We began working in Saudi Arabia around 2011–2012, supporting a client from Abu Dhabi with their regional office in Riyadh. At the time, the industry was at a turning point, and there was an

Design rooted in local culture and global vision

 MINISTRY OF TOURISM, KSA

opportunity to make a real impact by elevating creative design standards and introducing international processes.

Even then, change was on the horizon in the Kingdom with innovation, diversification, and forward-thinking approaches were beginning to emerge. It felt like the right time to be involved in dynamic, creative work and to contribute meaningfully to a region in transformation.

EMIRATES PROJECTS: How would you describe AAID’s design philosophy, and how is this reflected in your projects across Saudi Arabia?

STUART ALLEN: We have deep respect for the culture and environment we work in. We draw inspiration from the cultural characteristics of a place while also planning for the future. Our philosophy is rooted in form and function, ensuring designs are both beautiful and purposeful.

We integrate international design standards and forward-thinking practices that bring efficiency and creativity to each project. Wherever possible, we use locally sourced materials and aim to reflect both the diversity and heritage of the Kingdom. Our goal is to showcase the richness of Saudi Arabia in a way that’s authentic and inspiring.

Emirates Projects: What sets AAID apart from other design firms operating in the region, particularly in the fast-evolving Saudi market?

STUART ALLEN: I’m a firm believer in the design process, one that has been tested internationally through generations and movements. This process allows an idea to develop into a well-resolved, real-world solution that meets client needs and surpasses expectations.

Too often, we’ve seen this process overlooked. In Saudi Arabia, we make it a point to explain its importance and ensure every project is treated with the integrity it deserves.

EMIRATES PROJECTS: Could you highlight some of the key projects or clients you have worked with in Saudi Arabia to date?

From Qiddiya to PIF - A growing client list

STUART ALLEN: Certainly. Some of our key projects and clients in the Kingdom include:

• Qiddiya & Seven HQ – 22,000 sqm office in Laysen Valley

• Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib HQ – 20,000 sqm

• PIF and subsidiaries – including SURJ (Sports Investment Co.) and VCM (Voluntary Carbon Market)

• KAFD – Development of building technical guides, tenant fit-out manuals, and tenant design reviews

• Ministry of Tourism HQ – Workplace strategy across 9 floors in 3 buildings; designed in collaboration with H.E. the Minister and Deputy Minister to reflect the Kingdom’s 13 regions

• Boston Consulting Group –4,300 sqm regional office

• Ernst & Young – 12,000 sqm regional office

• Bain & Company – 1,600 sqm regional office

EMIRATES PROJECTS: Vision 2030 is transforming the built environment in Saudi Arabia. How is AAID aligning with the ambitions of this national initiative?

A decade of experience shaping Saudi spaces

STUART ALLEN: Vision 2030 is about showcasing Saudi Arabia’s culture and contributions to the world, both economically and culturally. It sets a powerful direction, encouraging international recognition and trade.

We’ve already seen the design industry respond. Global companies are establishing themselves in the region, demanding excellence in design. Where once international design firms were a requirement, the Kingdom is now setting the standard, with local talent and projects leading the way. We’re proud to be part of that evolution.

EMIRATES PROJECTS: Have you faced any unique challenges or opportunities when designing for the Saudi market? How has AAID adapted?

STUART ALLEN: In the past, a key challenge was the lack of skilled labour and proper onsite management. However, the landscape has shifted quickly. With more international influence and higher standards, the region now aligns with global business practices.

Another major shift is material availability. Previously, projects relied heavily on imports. Now, many suppliers have set up within the Kingdom, which has opened up opportunities for local sourcing. This evolution has been incredible, and we’re grateful to have spent over a decade growing alongside the Kingdom’s development.

EMIRATES PROJECTS: From commercial interiors to residential design, AAID has a diverse portfolio. Which sectors are you seeing the most growth or interest in within Saudi Arabia?

STUART ALLEN: The commercial sector remains strong, particularly as more businesses enter the region. However, with the rise of mega projects, international events, and exhibitions, there’s huge demand for supporting infrastructure, particularly in hospitality and F&B.

SMARTER, SAFER WORKSITES THROUGH IOT

IOT TECHNOLOGY IS TRANSFORMING INDUSTRIAL SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY WITH REAL-TIME INSIGHTS AND AUTOMATION.

Imagine a worksite where machines can talk, sensors work from dawn till dusk and beyond, and safety isn’t just a guideline – it’s seamlessly incorporated into daily operations.

Welcome to the IoT-powered industrial revolution! From preventing accidents to calibrating workflows in real time, IoT is the unseen force making worksites sharper, safer, and smarter. The future of industrial worksites isn’t just automated – it’s intuitive.

Brute force and heavy machinery alone no longer define industrial worksites. They are gradually evolving into intelligent and cognitive ecosystems. AI anticipates risks,

IoT listens in, and Vision AI Agents keep their digital eyes wide open. Together, this AI triad forms an unstoppable force, heading off hazards before they strike and transforming workplaces into smart, accident-proof zones.

The integration of Vision AI Agents and IoT is revolutionizing industrial safety by combining real-time perception with intelligent decisionmaking. IoT sensors act as the nervous system, continuously collecting data on workers movements, environmental conditions and machinery status. At the same time, Vision AI Agents function as site’s eyes, leveraging advanced computer vision and deep learning to detect safety violations, operational

Combining realtime perception with intelligent decisionmaking

inefficiencies, and hazardous conditions. This synergy fosters a strategic approach to risk management by predicting possible threats, detecting irregularities, and generating automated responses before incidents occur.

By combining Vision AI Agents with IoTdriven data streams, industrial jobsites are transforming into intelligent and self-governing environments. For instance, the Object Detection

The Safety Blueprint for Saudi Jobsites

Agents can identify early signs of mechanical stress and IoT sensors can monitor temperature fluctuations in heavy machinery. Similarly, AI driven automation can instantly alert operators, adjust operational guidelines, or even trigger shutdown protocols to prevent potential accidents in case a potential failure is detected. This fusion of sensor intelligence, AI powered automation and real-time video analytics ensures that safety measures are predictive, reducing human error, minimizing downtime, and fostering a truly smart industrial ecosystem.

While AIoT (AI + IoT) enhances jobsite awareness, integrating with Generative AI takes safety and efficiency to the next level. The fusion creates intelligent systems that don’t merely monitor, but predict, adapt, and respond. IoT sensors collect real-time data on environmental conditions, worker behaviour, and equipment status; while Generative AI translates this data into actionable insights through natural language prompts.

Consider this: Want to detect overheating machinery before it fails? Just prompt: “Identify equipment showing early signs of overheating and suggest preventive actions.”

Need to enhance worker safety near hazardous zones? Try: “Track worker movement near high-risk areas and recommend real-time safety measures.”

Looking for optimized workflow efficiency? Ask: “Analyse IoT data and suggest ways to reduce idle time in production lines.”

Gary Ng, CEO of viAct, remarked, “AIoT and Generative AI are not just adding intelligence to industrial worksites; they are redefining them. By turning raw sensor data into real-time, actionable insights, we are moving beyond passive monitoring to predictive prevention. Imagine a site where machines anticipate failures before they happen, and safety protocols adjust dynamically to risks as they emerge.

This is the future of industrial safety—automated, intuitive, and always one step ahead.”

By combining real-time awareness of AIoT with the adaptability of Generative AI, industrial worksites evolve into self-learning environments where risks are prevented before they arise. Operations run smoothly, and safety is no longer reactive – it’s instinctive.

This AIoT revolution is not just limited to a single region. Industries globally are adopting this connected intelligence. Saudi Arabia is at the leading edge of this transformation. The Kingdom is rapidly adopting smart technologies to boost industrial operations, particularly in high-risk sectors like construction, oil & gas and manufacturing, pursuant to Vision 2030 objectives.

The Future of Industrial Safety – Instinctive and Intelligent

IoT-powered sensors and connected devices rigorously monitor critical factors such as risks of fire, exposure of hazardous material, equipment performance and air quality. From real-time gas leak detection in petrochemical plants to AI-driven predictive maintenance in heavy industries, IoT is minimizing accidents, reducing downtime, and giving way to smarter decision-making.

With AIoT and Vision AI Agents working in sink, industrial jobsites are automating safety while

maximizing efficiency. Wearable IoT devices help track worker fatigue and exposure to extreme temperatures, a vital factor in Saudi Arabia’s harsh climate. IoT connectivity enabled smart CCTV systems detect unsafe behaviors and instantly alert supervisors. The IoT-enabled digital twins provide real-time site analytics, ensuring agile operations with minimal risks in mega infrastructure projects like the Red Sea Project and NEOM. As Saudi Arabia is advancing towards Industry 4.0, IoT is not simply a tool; it is the core of a safer, smarter, and more resilient industrial landscape.

The era of connected intelligence has arrived, redefining how industrial worksites function. With AIoT and Vision AI Agents working in sync, safety is no longer a checklist – it’s an instinctive, built-in feature, that evolves with every data point. Worksites are no longer places where machines hum and people sweat; they are evolving into high-tech, self-regulating ecosystems, where machines don’t just operate – they anticipate, adapt, and protect.

As industries worldwide dive headfirst into smart automation and embrace smart automation, one thing is clear: IoT isn’t just making worksites safer and smarter; it is reshaping the very foundation of industrial operations. The future doesn’t belong to those who merely follow protocols; it belongs to those who let AIoT take the wheel, as in this new world safety isn’t a rigid rule – it’s an unstoppable force, hardwired into the very fabric of industrial operations.

Mr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, Managing Director and Co-Founder of BNW Developments,

added a thoughtful layer to the partnership: “FashionTV Acacia was never about aesthetic indulgence alone. It’s about capturing a cultural pulse, the global shift toward curated spaces that reflect individual identity. We see the home as an extension of expression. With this collaboration, we’ve translated the ethos of FashionTV… its editorial sharpness, its contemporary rhythm into an architectural experience. It’s not a project we launched, but a philosophy we built.”

He added, “There’s also something incredibly compelling about Ras Al Khaimah right now. It offers the openness of vision that cities often lose with time. By anchoring this project on Al Marjan Island, we’re positioning it at the nexus of nature, policy, and international attention. This is where the next chapter of UAE’s development narrative is being written, and we’re proud to contribute to that growth story.”

Maximilian Dennis Edelweiss, representative of FashionTV and CEO of IP-Nation, remarked: “To collaborate with BNW was to find a partner who understood that real estate today is about crafting meaningful experiences. Together,

through FashionTV Acacia, we’ve imagined a space that blurs the line between fashion and function, turning lifestyle into a livable legacy.”

BNW Developments has emerged as a powerful force in redefining the real estate paradigm in the UAE. From heritage-rooted collaborations like Taj Wellington Mews, to the bold modernity of FashionTV Acacia, the brand continues to introduce disruptive,

brand-led living experiences to the region, each one more defining than the last.

And this is only the beginning. Several new collaborations are already underway, each aimed at further enriching the landscape of global residential living through the lens of storytelling, substance, and strategic thinking.
