Yas Island

Yas Island is one of the UAE’s most ambitious mixed-use developments, transforming Abu Dhabi into a global hub for leisure, tourism, and motorsport. Home to internationally renowned attractions such as Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Yas Marina Circuit, and a wide range of hotels, retail spaces, and beaches, the island is a benchmark in integrated entertainment ecosystems.

Design Confidence played a pivotal role in the island’s early-stage development, offering critical engineering and advisory support across its sprawling infrastructure. The team provided comprehensive fire and life safety assessments, advanced smoke and evacuation modelling, and peer-reviewed design strategies to ensure that safety measures were embedded into the project’s foundations.

Their work ensured alignment with international safety standards while maintaining flexibility to accommodate the unique needs of each destination within the island. From visitor flow strategies to system-wide safety integration, Design Confidence contributed to making Yas Island not just a world-class experience, but a safe and resilient one.
