Al Naboodah Construction Group (ANCG), a subsidiary of Al Naboodah Group Enterprises, has celebrated achieving five million man hours worked without a lost time accident at its Dubai Creek Harbour site
ANCG is constructing two, 37-storey towers with residential units, penthouses and commercial units, plus external works and landscaping at Creekside Plot 18-A , residential project in the six sq km Dubai Creek Harbour development by Emaar Properties.
“Projects of this type come with their own unique challenges,” said Moustafa Hassan, project director.
“We have reached the 33rd level without any lost time accidents which is quite an achievement on a project of this scale and scope. Even a small stone or tool dropped from such a height could be fatal if it hit someone, so it is a testimony to the training in safety standards instilled in our workforce, and diligence of all our workers that we have not had any lost time injury since the project began in January 2017.”
David Evans, CEO at ANCG, said, “This is a great achievement by all our project personnel and a testament to the diligence of all those on site. We take the safety of all our operatives very seriously and they all receive regular training and are accountable for following appropriate procedures.”
Overall works are on-track with the substructure and superstructure near completion. To date, a total of 70,000 cu/m of concrete have been poured and 18,000 tonnes of steel used. Structurally, 33 of the 37 floors are complete and one apartment with total fit-out will be finalised this month, ready as a showroom. The entire project is due for completion in mid-2019.
