people in construction industry change. It was when the time the precast solution is not widely accepted
in Qatar. The project is a two storey building in various locations.

In the year 2001, Mideast Constructors and Technip Engineering has approached Qatar Precast Co.,
LLC., to produce and deliver precast concrete columns and beams for the Sulfur Recovery Project at Ras
Laffan Industrial City. As a response, we created a team of designers and engineer to cater the
requirement in time. At first we were amazed of the units not to mentioned the each unit has to have at
least 3 or more insert plates being a minimum weight to be 40 kgs. By utilizing steel molds, two mobile
crane just to lift and lay the cages of reinforcement, we were able to be ahead of time in completing our
commitment. The quality requirement of the produce unit was so stiff due to the delicate final
environment.

hollow core slab. Upon collaboration with the design, engineering and construction and coordination
with the Qatar Design Consortium, we come up with the precast solution of precast prestressed beams
and hollow core slab. By the use of the precast the contractor has significantly reduced time and money
for the completion of the project, noting that the complete headquarters is composed of three tangent
circles. The project consists of three multi storey circular buildings.
In the year 2004, another challenge was up for Qatar Precast Co., LLC., that the project with Oriental

Halul. The precast products used have to be transported by land and sea. The project is for senior staff
accommodation and consists of buildings.
