Muscat: The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn), represented by Sur Industrial City, has signed a land development agreement (usufruct) with Bisham Real Estate Company to establish an integrated workforce township in Sur Industrial City at a value reaching OMR16 million.
The project, which will be developed on an area exceeding 180,000 square metres, will be divided into three categories, each with its distinctive standards and specifications. In addition, it will include a variety of accommodation options and it will also comprise other services such as gyms and a shopping centre.
Phase one of the project is expected to be completed within 36 months and will accommodate 5,600 workers. Moreover, the project will provide 300 direct job opportunities.
Madayn is implementing several vital projects in Sur Industrial City as work is underway in executing an infrastructure development project at a total value of more than OMR12 million, which will be completed by the beginning of the second half of 2022.
This project aims at providing the necessary infrastructure to meet the needs of the current investors and attract new local and foreign investments.
The project includes the construction of a 17-km-long water network, 14 km of sewage network, 10.6km of the road network, 6.8km of water drainage channels, two wastewater storage tanks with a total capacity of 1,230 cubic metres, and water tanks.
Additionally, Madayn has floated a tender for pre-qualification of consulting companies, and offers have been received from 18 companies. The analysis and evaluation process of these offers is underway and it is hoped that the project will be completed during the second half of 2022.
The project aims at updating the masterplan of the industrial city, including identifying suitable locations for heavy industries, service paths, and locations for infrastructure facilities, in addition to conducting a hydrological study for wadi paths, identifying their size and drainage and protection schemes, and creating additional leasable areas.
