FACE Middle East Fzc have successfully completed a design and supervision project for GRESCO Project Management in Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, for their client Pharma World Holdings. Gulf Real Estate Consortium (GRESCO) is a prominent player in the UAE’s real estate sector and a trusted name in the market since 1982.
FACE Middle East were involved with the project right from the very beginning of the initial design stage. The full floor slab design package (including loading calculations, thickness and slab layout) was submitted to Gresco several months before construction of the floor began. Then, six weeks prior to construction, FACE Middle East attended a pre-construction site meeting to check everything was in order and offer any advice where necessary. During the pre-construction site meeting, a presentation was made to both Gresco and the main contractor (System Construct) explaining how each Superflat slab would be cast and outlining the importance of different processes.
When the time came to begin construction of the floor, two FACE Middle East engineers were present to work with the main contractor and prepare everything, ready for casting the first VNA (very narrow aisle) slab.
After a few days of preparation, casting began with one VNA slab being cast per day. Each slab was surveyed using the FACE Digital Profileograph the day after casting and the results relayed to the project manager on a daily basis. This on-site supervision means progress and quality is constantly monitored.
In total 14 VNA slabs were cast. Other areas were also monitored by FACE Middle East, including a receiving and dispatch area. Every VNA slab cast complied to the required flatness specification (TR34 Appendix C – DM2) and no remedial grinding was necessary.
FACE Middle East were also involved with a project in Riyadh, KSA for PWH’s sister company, Banaja.
This project is a perfect example of how FACE Middle East’s involvement at the early stages of the design process and successful relationship with all parties concerned helps to ensure the very best result is achieved for the client.
Project Manager, Ala’a Al Jundi, for GRESCO Project Management L.L.C added, “I would like to extend my deepest thanks for your efforts towards achieving this great result. Many thanks to FACE Middle East for their valuable feedback & site control and to SYSTEM for their cooperation and understanding in this regard.”
