Umm Slal Mohammed Integrated Accommodation Community Project.

Introduction

• GS expertise and professionalism in Design and Construction of worker accommodation facilities is best exemplified through its experience in setting up within one year the 10,000-capacity QATALUM Construction Village at MESSAIED Industrial City,Qatar, as well as construction of base camps in Iraq  and at MA’ADEN Infrastructure Company’s (MIC) 2,500-capacity Residential Village at RAS AL KHAIR Industrial City, JUBAIL, SAUDI ARABIA where we were able to successfully manage timely delivery of Construction, O&M and Total Life Support services in very difficult and hostile

• Our design of the Single Residential Facility (SRF) for the Integrated Workers Accommodati on Camp

(IWAC) meets the requirements of the Authority, design guidance of MME and complies with applicable Qatar Construction Specifications, Qatar Building Codes and other International codes for     this type of facility.

• Likewise, our design offers  mutual  beneficial  advantages  described below to Gulf  System for

Contracting & Services Company (GS) as Private Investor and MME (Client):

Our Design with value engineering in mind reduces cost of construction, maintenance, cleaning & other operational costs  hence would equate to lower rates beneficial to residents/client companies; whereas the very high requirements of the MME design in our opinion is overdesigned & entail higher cost of construction,maintenance, cleaning & related operational   costs resulting in higher rates being charged.

Fast-track construction period to maximum 18 months which Is earlier than the 24 months contractual requirement of MME.
