Phase 2 (17.4 million LE): dewatering and excavation of unsuitable material (to reach the basal sand layer) for 600,000 m3, backfilling and compaction, supply, placement, and compaction of 840,000 m3 of clean sand, supply, lay, and compact 800,000 m2 of 44 cm thick pavement layer consisting of the sand-cement batch mixture.


As the main contractor, we completed in 2012 the construction of the following buildings;

steel shed area and service building of steel skeleton including reinforced concrete footing and all finishing works,
wire mesh fence and infrastructure works including water, drainage and firefighting utilities, manholes, pump house, communication & electric utilities and fire alarm system.
