WEM Technical Services

What WEM Technical Services does

WEM Technical Services is a UAE-based specialty contractor in controlled demolition and concrete modification works, established in 2008 and headquartered in Abu Dhabi with a regional office in Dubai. The company delivers engineered demolition and concrete solutions — including controlled demolition combining saw cutting, wire sawing, and robotic breaking; top-down tower demolition for high-rise reinforced concrete buildings; concrete cutting and floor sawing; core drilling and deep hole coring; concrete scanning via ground-penetrating radar; strip-out and selective demolition; concrete repair using jacketing and FRP strengthening; and decommissioning — to main contractors, real estate developers, and government authorities across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Technology is built around Hilti hydraulic saw/wire cutting systems (DLP-32, DSTS-32), Brokk 160 and Husqvarna DXR 300 remote-controlled demolition robots, Hilti PS 1000 X-Scan ground-penetrating radar for non-destructive concrete assessment, and a fleet of over 100 coring machines plus 35+ saw cutting machines. WEM holds Dubai Municipality Unlimited Demolition Approval and is certified to TUV ISO 9001:2015 (Quality), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental), and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety), with an In-Country Value (ICV) Certificate from 2023.

The business model is project-based professional services plus equipment rental. Conventional demolition is priced at 30-55 AED per square foot; controlled demolition, deep hole coring, robotic demolition, and decommissioning are quote-based, priced by scope, methodology, equipment deployment, and time frame. Three primary customer segments drive demand: construction main contractors (China State, Al Futtaim, Besix, Arabtec, Alec, Shapoorji Pallonji), real estate developers (Emaar, DAMAC, Nakheel), and government/utility authorities (RTA, DEWA, ADNOC, Dubai Municipality). Distribution is direct enterprise sales only, led by Managing Director Waleed Elmurr, General Manager Youssef Toumajean, and Sales Manager Motasem Alnabulsi. Notable engagements include a 4-year Dubai Mall Fashion Avenue Expansion (40,000+ core drillings, 60+ certified operators), the Seven City Mall JLT controlled demolition (38,000 sqm across 3 zones), and NYU Abu Dhabi (500 sqm slab removal with spider crane solution in 10 days).
