    Mechatics,

    It will take a lot of work, but you will need to 'stitch' these together by making several scans, on A4 section at a time. Fold the drawings to A4 size and scan from that.

    Otherwise, see if you can find someone with a wide format scanner. I would think that Dubai would have an architectural firm or engineering frim that may do this. There may be a copy shop there which will do this as well.

    Good luck,

    Rick
