Structural Engineers: Panceltica London
The project at Mesaimeer and Al Sailiya consists of two different sites and covers a total area of 400,000 m². It includes 2000 apartments spread across 4 stories and 62 building blocks. The development also features various amenities such as playgrounds, health clubs, swimming pools, nurseries, supermarkets, and parks. The Barwa Affordable Housing Project was a groundbreaking development as it was the world's first and largest housing project to be built using light gauge steel structures. Despite the numerous advantages of using LGS construction, such as being cost-effective, rapid, and providing accurate building solutions, this construction material was not widely utilized in the Middle East. However, the success of the Barwa project has paved the way for the increased use of light gauge steel in construction projects in the region, showing the potential for this material to revolutionize the housing industry. This innovative approach has not only provided affordable housing solutions but has also set a new standard for construction methods in the Middle East.We, on behalf of Panceltica Qatar, provided complete technical support for civil and structural engineering, including construction supervision. Both sites were completed within 18 months.
