Sama completes Salam Yeti work

Sama Dubai, the international real estate investment and development arm of Dubai Holding, yesterday announced the completion of 85 per cent of advanced earth works for its Dh6.5 billion Salam Yiti lifestyle resort project in Oman.

More than three million cubic metres of rock and sand has been placed at the Salam Yiti project, a joint venture with Omran (Oman Tourism Development Company), a subsidiary of Ministry of Tourism, and Sama.

The advanced earth works are critical to the development of the project, specifically the three six metre high increment to the existing ground level, along with the realignment of Wadi Qanu.

The design follows an extensive study and analysis by Halcrow International of the up-stream wadi catchment areas. To maintain the steady progress of enabling work, Sama Dubai has contracted Boskalis Westminister Oman along with its joint venture partner Consolidated Contractors Company to drive the early construction and development works, which includes the arrival of major dredging equipment to the construction site.

Farhan Faraidooni, Executive Chairman of Sama Dubai, said: "The rapid progress of major foundation work at the Salam Yiti project reflects Sama's objective to deliver high quality real estate products and services that endorse our far-sighted vision and commitment towards the local community."

Salam Yiti, engulfed by mountains on the Yiti Beach, is an integrated residential resort between Oman's Al Hajar Ash Sharqi mountains and the pristine beach below.
