Services Provided
Leveling, Excavation & Backfilling
To prepare the 136,000 square meter site, DTC performed extensive leveling, excavation, and backfilling. Using advanced machinery, the team removed the surface layer, rocks, bushes, and other obstacles. The surface was then backfilled with organic and pure soil, ensuring a strong foundation for the building.
Steel Erection
DTC installed prefabricated steel structures procured from Kirby Building Systems. These structures were strategically placed according to the project design, ensuring structural integrity and efficiency.

The grey structure of the building was constructed based on the design provided by AlFarid Engineering Consultancy. DTC closely collaborated with their team, maintaining open communication to address any issues promptly, ensuring smooth project progression.
Electrical Work
DTC’s electrical team laid out the entire electrical wiring network, from the main supply to internal connections. They ensured all electrical connections and transformer loads were calculated accurately. The team also focused on safety and aesthetics, insulating wires properly and placing them in ducts to avoid a messy appearance.
Plumbing
DTC installed all necessary plumbing materials, including sanitary ware, water pipes, and hot and cold water supply units. The plumbing installation was done with precision to meet the highest standards of functionality and reliability.
