The United Development Company (UDC), a leading Qatari public shareholding company and the master developer of The Pearl-Qatar and Gewan Island, is moving steadily with the development of its latest project – Gewan Island- while adhering to safety measures, despite the COVID-19 impact on public and business life. The Island is poised to be a remarkable addition to UDC’s portfolio of iconic developments which also includes The Pearl-Qatar.
As a major development milestone, UDC has recently launched construction works on Crystal Residence’s 15 buildings with the start of blinding and raft foundation works at the common basement level.
The first major concrete pour was successfully completed last August boasting 5,000 cubic metres of concrete, which constitutes one of the largest concrete pouring operations in the State of Qatar, taking 33 hours and 131 manpower to complete.
This is considered a major achievement given the magnitude of the operation and the challenges faced amid the limitations imposed by the pandemic.
