Project Description

The pavilion features an experience in density reflecting the nation of Bahrain’s ability to evolve and encourage trade and innovation with limited available land.

Project Challenges

Robert Bird Group provided the full Construction Methodology and Erection Sequence (CMES) for this complex structure. All permanent works elements are slender, and the structure is only considered stable once the outer walls and roof as well as the roof are completed. The Staged Construction Analysis (SCA) was therefore highly important to ensure certainty and safety to the construction of the building.

Added Value

RBG introduced modularization into the roof and wall panels and combined the columns and roof/wall panels. RBG mapped out and planned the erection sequencing of all 126 columns and hundreds of prefabricated wall and roof modules and developed all of the temporary works’ design.

The development of the CMES and delivery of design was performed remotely from March 2020 in the most challenging times of the Covid Pandemic.  RBG virtually constructed the building which assisted greatly with the development, testing and communication of the method. Despite pandemic conditions, vital and complex construction methodology development can be effectively delivered unhampered and remotely.
