Matt Warnock , December 13th, 2009

Sweet Homes General Contracting (SHGC), the main contractor for the UAE’s Ajman Uptown project, has completed the concrete pouring on the largest foundation raft within the AED3.5bn development.

In total, 6,064m³ of concrete was poured continuously for 26 hours period to form the substructure of the Kentia commercial tower within the large master development.

“We have been working non-stop to hit the delivery deadline of Ajman Uptown, and we are leveraging the expertise of our partners to ensure that progress will mirror the targets we have previously set,” said Sweet Homes General Contracting managing director Fawad Sattar Dero.

“The construction milestones we have achieved one after another reiterate our commitment to our investors and stakeholders, and the strength we maintain to deliver on our promise and contribute to the growth of Ajman as a real estate destination in the region.”

Concrete pouring on the tower, which occupies a total plot area of 5,799m², was completed using five mobile concrete pumps and a laser level machine, fixed by SHGC and a team from Remix Tech, the concrete supplier who sourced the material from two plants in separate areas. The pour was supervised by consultant engineer Adnan Saffarini Consulting Office.

“We are very pleased with the exceptional progress we are making despite the challenges of the economic downturn. We are optimistic that the recovery of the real estate market and the evolution of legislation in Ajman to provide more benefits for investors will have more significant impact to the growth of Ajman Uptown as one of the most sought-after communities in the country,” concluded Dero.
