Gulf Construction: TTM completes post-tensioning job for Qatari mall

TTM was engaged to convert the original proposed concrete slabs to PT slabs

TTM Post Tensioning (TTM), a KBW Investments portfolio company, has completed its post-tensioning (PT) contract for the latest K&H Al Mana 03 mall project, located in New Salata, Doha, Qatar. The development, a multi-use retail and hospitality venture with confirmed anchor tenants like Carrefour and various international food and beverage (F&B) outlets, also includes an expansive cinema installation. “The initial mall designs used conventional reinforced concrete slabs, which proved to be unsuitable for the cinema’s requirements because the span was inadequate.  TTM was engaged to convert the original proposed concrete slabs to PT slabs, leading to a significant 20 per cent reduction of the overall structural cost,” said Sameel Hamza, chief operations officer, TTM.

The mall, scheduled to be fully complete in approximately six months, consists of basement and ground floors, a mezzanine and skylight roof with a total built-up area of 11,773 sq. m.
