Al Salam Tunnel’s upper intersection (Contract 3) near Khalifa Park and the Ministries complex has now opened. This key milestone is the second phase in a series of 4 carefully planned openings in the Al Salam Street Project. This is inline with the Municipality’s ongoing efforts to gradually open surface and bypass roads leading to the full completion of the project.

Contract 3 is overseen by the construction company Nurol. The dewatering services for this contract consisted of over 150 Deep Wells installed and operated by the Khansaheb Sykes Abu Dhabi branch who were there from the outset.

Contract 3 has reached an impressive 88% completion rate, stretching from Al Salam-Al Saada Intersection up to Al Salam Street- Hazza Bin Zayed Street Intersection. The 711 m tunnel, consists of four lanes with an estimated capacity of 6,000 vehicles per hour for each traffic direction.

Khansaheb Sykes’ unrivalled expertise within wellpoint dewatering services was tested recently when a key customer requested us to devise a very bespoke drilling solution to deliver high volumes of Micro Piling.

18000 Micro Piles within an area of a 1.2km 2 had to be constructed, enabling 18000 Solar Panels to be mounted in their exact locations.

The energy then generated by these panels will power Madinat Zayed City in the Western Region of the Emirates. Once completed, this City will then be totally dependent on the power from these specially located panels.

After recent flash floods in inland Oman, many of the roads were simply “washed away”.

Due to the frequency and intensity of these floods, a major road rebuilding project was announced by the Ministry of Transportation and Communication / Directorate General of Roads for the “Repairing of Cyclone Damages on Wadi-Thaiyeen”.

This prestigious project was won by Galfar Engineering and Contracting S.A.O.G. which included the building of a series of bridges spanning the wadis to raise the road network so that traffic can flow unhindered by seasonal flooding.

Al Ansari Trading Enterprise LLC - the Sykes Pumps Omani Distributor, consulted closely with Galfar Engineering and Contracting to calculate the high flow rates necessary for the ground water control while the bridge foundation works were being completed.

Then in close cooperation with Khansaheb Sykes, a fleet of high flow rate pumps (8” and 12” diameter intake and discharge) were mobilised to complete this specialist job – closely monitored day to day by Al Ansari Trading.

Sykes 12” pump – capable of pumping water at flow rates up to 375 l/s

Ian Atkinson (International Business Development Director from Sykes Pumps UK) stated,

“This is another example of the flexibility of solutions that can be achieved by working so closely with our distributor partners. Al Ansari offers the highest levels of expertise and services, and when coupled with specialist pumping solutions from Sykes Pumps, our partnership offers an unrivalled range of pumping solutions in Oman”.
