The Latest and Most Exclusive Construction Updates on Zameen Ace Mall Are Here!
Construction of a large-scale, skyscraper-like Zameen Ace Mall requires a strong foundation that goes dozens of feet deep into the ground. It can be a very daunting task, which needs to be handled super carefully.
Well, the project is in safe hands, thanks, in part, to highly skillful engineers and construction experts, who are constantly monitoring the progress of development work. They are making sure that the megastructure is being put together following the most intelligent construction practices as per the international standards.
As of the first week of March 2021, work is rapidly progressing at Zameen Ace Mall’s site with the help of heavy construction equipment including dumpers, excavators, and pile drivers etc. Now, let’s take a closer look at the three major tasks that are currently underway along with the latest pictures from the project’s actual site.
Relocation of Storm Water Drain Is Almost Complete
The greater the project, the bigger the challenges. Laying the foundations of Zameen Ace Mall was a herculean task as a storm water drain ran through the project’s site. However, with the constant efforts of the on-ground construction crew, the storm water drain is finally being shifted to a more appropriate location.
Keeping in view the governing geotechnical conditions, reinforced cement concrete (RCC) drain has been designed to re-route the storm water and also secure the soil in the immediate vicinity of the drain. The total length of the drain is 600 feet, at the time of writing; construction of the storm drain is 85% complete. The remaining 35% of the works is expected to be completed within the next three weeks.
Piling Work is in Full Swing
Along with the relocation of the storm water drain, the piling works are also in progress. Being among the most important stages of high-rise construction, piling works are crucial for safely laying foundations deep below the surface level.
At the moment, 35% of piling works have been completed. Due to the fact that this work requires solid, ready sides, the process will speed up once construction work on the drain is completed. Currently, only one pile driver is being used at the site but once the work on the relocation of the drain is completed and the site is fully secured, another pile driver will be installed. This will double the number of bores done in a day to expedite piling work. Freshly excavated land is challenging for construction as it is unstable and has a tendency to collapse due to the absence of lateral counter-pressure and exposure to moisture makes the condition worse. However, if not hampered by the aforementioned challenges, the piling works are expected to be completed within the next three months or even sooner.
Excavation Work in Progress
Zameen Ace Mall falls in the jurisdiction of the Potohar region, which is essentially known for its uneven terrain. This makes the excavation work even more challenging. The project site varies in terms of height and depth against the road level across its entire span. Varying a few feet from point to point, on average a 60 feet deep excavation is required to lay the solid, earthquake-resistant foundation of Zameen Ace Mall.
Many excavators are working day and night on the project’s site in multiple phases to get done with debris removal and the excavation process as quickly as possible. The positioning of these machines changes from time to time, based on how piling is being executed and the construction of stormwater drain, which is almost complete. At the moment, about 10.5% of excavation work has been completed. Once the construction of the storm drain is complete, the pace of excavation work will increase immensely, allowing our engineers and laborers to get ready to take Zameen Ace Mall ground up.
The fast-paced development paired with solid investment prospects has considerably raised the demand for property units in Zameen Ace Mall, which are already selling out fast. So, take a detailed look at what the project has in store for investors and how fruitful it can be for you to invest in Zameen Ace Mall—one of the country’s most highly-anticipated mixed-use developments.
