Overview

Drake & Scull International (DSI) is a Dubai-headquartered engineering and contracting group tracing its roots to a UK plumbing/engineering business, formally established as a UAE public joint-stock company in 1966 and IPO'd on the Dubai Financial Market in 2008. It operates across contracting (civil, mechanical, electrical, fire protection), oil & gas, real estate development, and water/wastewater treatment (via subsidiary Passavant Energy and Environment), with project exposure in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and internationally. After entering severe financial distress in 2018 (trading suspension, losses exceeding 75% of capital) and a 2023-2024 court-approved restructuring that wrote off roughly 90% of creditor debt, DSI resumed DFM trading in 2024 and has since reported a turnaround, including a 2025 revenue doubling and further Q1 2026 revenue growth.
