Progress Report
As we approach the end of 2009 work continues well on schedule across the whole Bahrain Bay development.
Central to the communications in Bahrain Bay is the road and bridge network that forms the links between the development and Manama on the mainland, and which also provides a links to the iconic Four Seasons Island.
Three of the bridges have recently completed their concrete pours – at Bahrain Residential Avenue, Manama High Street and the Four Seasons Hotel Bridge. All are now primed to move onto their next phase of construction.
Two 66Kv electricity substations have already been completed and work is progressing quickly on a further set which will provide all the power required for the Bahrain Bay Development when complete. The Shamal Primary Substation, on the north island was recently handed over to the appointed electrical fit-out contractor, Sumitomo.
The complex cooling network which will serve the whole development is also making great strides with over 60% of it complete.
Despite the unfavourable economic conditions, third party developers are also pressing ahead. For example Arcapita’s Bahrain Bay Development has now reached the landscaping stage. Many others have received various stages of design approval and are poised to move to the next stage of construction.
