On 16 February 2024 Nass Contracting completed the pile cap for the residential building comprising 6,200m³ of concrete across an area of 3,700m² as a single continuous pour. This was the largest concrete pour in the Kingdom of Bahrain by a single concrete supplier.
The concrete was supplied by Delmon Readymix, a subsidiary of Nass Corporation, who has played a major part in the construction of modern Bahrain, with well over 12 million cubic metres of top-quality concrete produced to date. As the leading concrete producer, the Company has a clear focus to support sustainable environmentally friendly construction and is working hard to develop environmentally friendly “green concrete” solutions.
The concrete pour utilized an innovative environmentally friendly “green concrete”, containing Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag cement (GGBS), a top-tier cement ingredient providing an optimal mix of environmental benefits and performance. 70% of the Portland Cement in the concrete was replaced with GGBS (a by-product of steel manufacture), reducing the amount of CO2 emissions by half, a reduction of over 1,500 tonnes of harmful CO2, whilst at the same time producing much more durable concrete with a longer service life.
The Bahrain Marina Residence forms part of the Bahrain Marina Development Phase 1 project comprising the residential tower that redefine luxury living in the city with 274 high-end apartments and penthouses spanning over 21 floors. The development also includes approximately 58,000m² basement; mini mall; waterfront F&B units; retail units; boardwalk and yacht club.
Nass Contracting is proud to be associated with the Bahrain Marina Development project and transforming the eastern coastal strip of Manama.
