Omran has completed 6.6 million man hours without lost time injuries at the Muscat-based site that will host the second Asian Beach Games.
So far, 1821 labourers have worked 640 days in safe conditions, the government-owned tourism development and investment arm told ConstructionWeekOnline.com.
The news follows the announcement that 64% of the work at the project has finished.
“At almost two-thirds complete, we remain on track to deliver the second Asian Beach Games site, with all parties working together with one common purpose. The site is now really taking shape and we can see what a fantastic facility this is going to provide,” said Omran chairman Wael Bin Ahmed Al Lawati.
“Again, we thank all our team members for their continued commitment to safety. By the end of February, we reached more than 6.6 million hours without a lost time incident and we hope to achieve further progress on our safety record.”
The project, which broke ground in June last year, will feature sporting facilities, an athlete’s village, a four-star hotel, a 400-berth marina and a man-made lagoon for the game’s water-based events.
Omran said that the marina construction is 100% complete, with permanent structures and landscaping works both past the half-way mark. Infrastructure works are 72% complete.
The entire development is set to be completed by November this year, in time for the games, which will be held in the Omani capital one month after handover.
