FOUNDATION WORK

We have completed most of the structural work for all the buildings except for the upper zone, which we will complete soon. We can now begin with structures for the lifts in the buildings, which are located outside and between the buildings, as well as continue with the wall panel installation that we began last month.

WALL WORK

The wall installation keeps moving forward as we complete the main structures of the buildings. At the moment, we are working on the middle zone building and we have already completed half of the installations for this zone.

PREPARATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION AREA FOR NEW BUILDINGS

The team has been preparing the materials that we use for the structural work. They are preparing the steel bars at the base of the construction area and then they will transfer them to the required zone to be installed.
