Emrill has said it completed the post-New Year’s Eve clean-up in Downtown Dubai in a record time of under 55-minutes. It mobilised over 308 team members to restore public spaces following one of the city’s most attended annual events.
The operation, delivered for 13 consecutive years as part of Emrill’s long-standing collaboration with Emaar, highlights its continued capability in managing and supporting complex, large-scale event environments, the firm said.
The New Year’s Eve celebrations incorporated a range of attractions, including a parade along Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Bollywood performances at Burj Park, acrobats and cultural entertainment at Dubai Fountain. In response to the increased scope and visitor numbers, Emrill adjusted its deployment strategy and assigned additional cleaning resources across extended event zones and high-footfall areas, the firm said.
The operation was carried out by a dedicated workforce of an Associate Director, an AGM, 10 managers, 2 HSSEQ officers, 2 engineers, 19 supervisors, 36 technicians and 237 cleaners, positioned across the boulevard, adjacent plazas, public parks and pedestrian routes to support a coordinated clean-up.
Extensive preparation and phased execution were central to the operation’s success. Emrill deployed a range of specialist equipment to support both pre-event readiness and post-event restoration, including 9 ride-on scrubber driers, 4 heavy-duty mechanical sweepers, 5 mobile high-pressure club cars and a CMAR street cleaner. In addition, 1 robot scrubber was utilised to carry out detailed cleaning works within the Burj Khalifa area once the event had concluded.
The post-event clean-up commenced at 12:10am on 1 January 2026, with all designated areas fully cleaned and made operational and accessible by 1:05am. Throughout the operation, a strong focus was placed on safety and coordination, with structured site zoning, controlled equipment movement and real-time supervision implemented to minimise disruption to visitors, residents and surrounding properties, the firm said.
Gopalakrishnan, COO, Emrill said, “Delivering the clean-up operations for Emaar’s New Year’s Eve celebrations in Downtown Dubai for so many years reflects the experience, planning and coordination required to manage one of the city’s most demanding operational environments. Our teams worked efficiently to restore public spaces quickly, safely and to the highest standards.”
Emrill’s ongoing role in delivering Downtown Dubai’s New Year’s Eve post-event clean-up operations for Emaar demonstrates its capability in delivering large-scale facilities management operations under tight time-frames, reinforcing its position as a trusted service provider for major public events and landmark locations across the UAE, the company concluded.
