Abu Dhabi’s TDIC awards enabling-works contract for Saadiyat project
Enabling works for beachfront Mamsha Al Saadiyat development to be carried out by Nael & Bin Harmal Hydroexport
Abu Dhabi’s Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC) has awarded the enabling-works contract for its Mamsha Al Saadiyat project to Nael & Bin Harmal Hydroexport (NBHH).
Mamsha Al Saadiyat, a 1.4km beachfront mixed-use project, is the first residential development in the Saadiyat Cultural District. The development comprises five clusters, each about 250m long, and features nine low-rise residential buildings including apartments and townhouses.
The project, which is being developed in phases, will also include a serviced-apartment building and a retail destination offering approximately 5,000sqm of leasable area.
Work has begun on the first phase of construction, with an anticipated 263,917 m3 being unearthed and 2,929 piles expected to be used over the next six months. The various stages of work will use a total of 2,678 tonnes of steel reinforcement, along with the pouring of approximately 53,575 tonnes of concrete.
Additionally, 1,000 linear metres of temporary shoring will be put into place to protect the foundation work on the 61,907sqm site. Work is scheduled to be complete in September 2015.
