Context and challenges

These projects deal with the development of thousands of hectares of land for building various housing estates, expansion of existing residential areas, provision of healthcare, educational facilities & sports buildings and the installation of utilities.

This extension of the housing facilities throughout the existing industrialized towns has been extremely complicated and involved strengthening and expanding the existing structures, diverting utilities, protecting existing utilities, strengthening of roads and pathways, raising and relocating overhead power lines, and demolishing and reconstructing existing structures.
