Mott MacDonald - Mott MacDonald to produce 'environmental plan'
for central market development, Abu Dhabi
Mott MacDonald has been appointed to develop and implement the
Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMP) for Aldar
Properties PJSC's flag ship development of the Central Market in Abu
Dhabi, the largest of the emirates in the UAE.
This high-profile development is part of President, Sheikh Khalifa
bin Zayed Al Nahayan's vision for taking Abu Dhabi into a new era
and boosting tourism AND BUSINESS in the region. The site has
cultural and historic importance to locals as it was home to the
original Central Market known as the Old Souq where locals gathered
to exchange goods and socialise.
The 56,000mē re-development will comprise of an 88 storey
residential tower, a 58 storey office block, 5 star and 4 star
hotels, retail outlets, car parking facilities, a New Souq, a mosque
and parks with landscaped gardens, some of which are terraced over
the main retail podium. A retail bridge will also be constructed
crossing Khalifa street, the main high street in Abu Dhabi.
The CEMP describes how environmental requirements are to be managed
during construction. The plan, which is required by law in order to
obtain a building permit, covers a number of issues including:
Management of potential nuisance issues with local residences,
such as noise and dust from the construction site
Monitoring the risk of contamination of soil and groundwater,
particularly important due to the location of the project
Training of site workers to ensure measures outlined in the plan
are implemented
Mark Grundy, Mott MacDonald's project manager said, "We are thrilled
to be part of this exciting development for Abu Dhabi. Mott
MacDonald has a wealth of expertise in delivering infrastructure
projects in the Middle East and welcomes this opportunity to restore
an important part of local culture and enhance amenities."
Mott MacDonald will work with Aldar until the end of the
construction programme in mid 2010.
