“The project faced many challenges, including extreme weather conditions, limited manpower, and tight schedule”
KIMECO SOLUTIONS
The project site was subject to Saudi Arabia’s harsh climate, with extremely high daytime temperatures creating significant safety and productivity challenges. To safeguard workers and maintain efficiency, operations were rescheduled from daytime to nighttime shifts. This transition necessitated a comprehensive reorganization of logistics, supervision, and support systems to ensure seamless continuity of works.
Due to the limited availability of local skilled labor, the workforce primarily consisted of experienced foreign workers from India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. While technically proficient, the predominantly Muslim workforce observed daily prayers and fasting during Ramadan, necessitating careful schedule adjustments and considerate management to balance productivity with cultural and religious observance.
The project was executed under an exceptionally aggressive timeline, leaving minimal tolerance for delays. Despite challenges related to logistics, manpower sourcing, and environmental or cultural factors, our team maintained its commitment to timely delivery through proactive project management, adaptive scheduling, and continuous coordination with all stakeholders.
Through the dedication and collaborative efforts of our entire project team, the structural steel erection was successfully completed on schedule and in full compliance with Hyundai motors stringent safety and quality standards.
This accomplishment underscores our capability to manage complex construction projects in demanding environments and reaffirms our reputation for excellence in industrial steel structure installation.
