Enabling Work– Pressure Grouting in Zone B

Zone B Construction

Enabling Work

Progress

Section

B-B

Due to the flood event that occurred in 2012 that caused

major flooding to the site. Pressure Grouting was

introduced as a method of reducing water infiltration.

The pressure grouting is still ongoing and is scheduled to

be completed by the 3rd week of June-14.

After completing the pressure grouting, the excavation

shall commence in Zone B and the remaining 11 stories of

that zone will take approx. 10 months.

The above event is the subject of an EOT claim and is

being negotiated between DAMAC and ATC.
