Zamil Steel Construction Co. has been awarded a full turnkey contract by Almutlaq Real Estate Investment Company for the construction of a new mixed-use commercial project (The Move Project). It features luxury leisure facilities, entertainment and fine dining, located at Nakheel Corniche, Jubail, in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia.

The contract signing ceremony was held at the Almutlaq Real Estate Investment Company’s headquarters in Riyadh, presided over by Abdulrahman Ibrahim Abaalkhail, CEO of Almutlaq Real Estate Investment Company, and Mohammed Al Sahib, Vice President, Zamil Industrial Investment Co.

“The crescent-shaped project has a multiple centerpiece that includes an artistic pedestrian bridge on the front end connecting the two sides of the crescent. One of the challenges is to carry out the construction works without harming the ambience of the nearby waterfront, and since the project site is by the sea, the high water table increases its complexity, requiring adequate dewatering and shoring on all sides. Consequently, the entire structure, including the pedestrian bridge, will be constructed on concrete piles,” said Mohammed Al Sahib.

Zamil Steel Construction Company caters to clients that require comprehensive solutions for industrial and commercial steel structures. It offers engineering, procurement and construction services for new projects in various market sectors. It provides the design, fabrication and supply of steel buildings, as well as related civil works; the erection of steel buildings; and the installation of firefighting and fire-alarm systems, architectural materials, mechanical systems, electrical systems and plumbing works through turnkey contracts using full-site management teams.
Zamil Steel has been awarded a contract by Arnaout Contracting Establishment (ARCON) for the design, fabrication, and supply of more than 5,000 metric tons of pre-engineered steel buildings for an integrated onshore rig for National Oilwell Varco (NOV) in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia.

Located in Ras Al-Khair, near Jubail Industrial City on the Kingdom’s east coast, the new facility is a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and National Oilwell Varco (NOV) and will have a capacity to manufacture ten onshore rigs per year.

The joint venture facility is expected to serve as a major hub for high specification drilling rigs and will offer repair services and recertification for a large portfolio of equipment. The manufacturing facility will also be equipped to deliver drilling packages for offshore jack-up rigs.

Zamil Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Services Co., a subsidiary of Zamil Industrial Investment Company (Zamil Industrial), has been awarded the Silver category of “Mowaamah Certification” for 2019, in recognition of its efforts to provide a supportive and motivational work environment for people with disabilities.

The “Mowaamah Certification”, launched by the Ministry of Labor and Social Development in Saudi Arabia, adopts best practices and standards while creating a work environment that comprehensively supports the special needs of workers with disabilities.

It also supports them in implementing industry best practices to adapt work environments with appropriate modifications for people with disabilities while increasing their employment opportunities.

To obtain the “Mowaamah Certification”, organizations must undergo a comprehensive review and audit of their work environment by a ministry-approved firm. The audit process determines the compatibility of the specific job and its functions with the type and degree of employee disability, and it details the requirements of the work environment and the facilitative services needed to meet the guidelines of the executive regulations of the Saudi Labor and Workmen Law.

Zamil Industrial sector businesses continually seek to adopt and implement best practices and national and international standards while developing a work environment that is more inclusive and supportive of people with disabilities, which in turn leads to their increased participation in the labor market.
