Following their successful endeavours in Dubai & Sharjah, Structural Systems Middle East turned to the neighbouring Emirates and offered specialist design and construct post-tensioning services to the virgin building market of Ajman.

Early success in projects such as the Al-Shaab Building and the 12 storey building plot 77 Ajman resulted in the appointment for the Design and Construct Post-Tensioning works associated with the prestigious Al Nuaimiah Towers residential development for His Highness Sheikh Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, the Ruler of the Emirate of Ajman.

Economical Solution
The complex consisted of 15 apartment buildings, each comprising of 17 suspended flat plate, post-tensioned slabs with a combined total floor area of 180,000m2. Post-tensioned floors were adopted to permit an economical solution - satisfying the project requirement of thin slabs and minimal use of false ceilings, whilst achieving the earliest possible completion date. The slabs were typically 230mm thick and were increased to 250mm thick in the vicinity of 10,800mm spans.

Minimal Formwork
The complex was the first of its type in Ajman and the completion of the suspended floors at a rate of three levels per building per month using only one set of formwork, made possible through the post-tensioned solution, facilitated the earliest on-set of foreign investment in the Emirate of Ajman and offered neighboring residents of Dubai and Sharjah the earliest opportunity to re-locate to more affordable accommodation in the Emirate of Ajman.
