| Atkins awarded final phase of Durrat al Bahrain  British engineering consultancy Atkins has been awarded the architectural and infrastructure design on the third and final phase of Durrat al Bahrain, a 20 km² reclaimed series of paradise islands at the southern tip of Bahrain. Delivery of phase III requires the design and documentation of infrastructure works, landscaping and architectural engineering of the 570 luxury villas plus facility buildings on the remaining four of the planned 13 islands. Completion of the two inner petal islands and two outer atoll islands, covering a total land area of over 800,000m², will bring an end to the construction of the luxury residential resort.Atkins began working on this signature development for Bahrain in 2004 and construction of phases I and II is progressing well, with a number of villa owners having now moved into their new homes. It is expected the construction of phase III will start next year. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
