Jacobs

MAIN CONTRACTOR:

Darwish Engineering Emirates

CONTRACTOR:

Al Dail Al Handasi Roads Main Cont LLC

VALUE OF PROJECT:

12 Million AED

SCOPE OF WORK:

Earth Works

The Rufaisah Dam to Tunnel project was a major earthworks and infrastructure development project carried out to support the construction of an important transportation corridor in Khorfakkan. The project involved large-scale excavation, rock cutting, grading, site preparation, embankment construction, and earthmoving operations across challenging terrain.

With the support of experienced engineers, skilled operators, and a modern fleet of heavy construction equipment, 77 Contractor successfully completed the project while maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and operational efficiency.

Key features

Mass excavation, filling, grading, and earthmoving operations carried out to prepare the project corridor.

Rock Excavation

Specialized excavation and rock cutting works completed to achieve the required road alignment and formation levels.

Infrastructure Preparation

Preparation of stable foundations for future road construction, drainage systems, and supporting infrastructure.

Health, Safety & Quality

Comprehensive quality inspections and strict Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) procedures ensured safe project delivery.

PROJECT EXECUTION PROCESS

Our experienced construction team followed a structured project execution plan to ensure safe operations, engineering accuracy, and timely completion.
