Increasing construction projects in the Middle East have spurred the growth of temporary cooling, in particular the expansion of mix-used real estate development projects. As a result, Rental Solutions & Services says it plans to further expand both its current offering and add additional products into its Middle East fleet to further support its wide and diverse customer base.

Increasing construction projects in the Middle East have spurred the growth of temporary cooling, in particular the expansion of mix-used real estate development projects. As a result, Rental Solutions & Services says it plans to further expand both its current offering and add additional products into its Middle East fleet to further support its wide and diverse customer base.

"RSS started operations with a small fleet of chillers in 2007 and within 18 months of operations, it has surpassed an in-fleet cooling capacity of 25,000TR,” said Milan Balac, managing director of RSS. “We are continuously expanding our cooling and power fleet and adding new products to meet the high market demand.

“RSS has received excellent support from the Bank of Scotland which in turn has helped to fast track our fleet expansion in both the cooling and power segments. The RSS finance facility has been significantly increased to an 8-digit USD sum, which demonstrates the bank's confidence in our management team and our global expansion plans."

Colin Cav, RSS general manager for Northern Gulf added, "RSS is committed to serve the rental cooling market across the Gulf region. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain are all key markets and will provide growth opportunities. We are seeing great opportunities in several key cities including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Dammam, Jeddah, Riyadh, Manama, Doha and Muscat."

RSS has also increased its temporary power capacity to 80MW to support its temporary cooling fleet and the rental power market. RSS is currently widening the capacities of its temporary generator fleet to meet the increasing and varying demand within the Middle East market.
