Scope
of Work
TTJ was proud to be
involved for the erection work in this prestigious
project in Bahrain. TTJ had to erect the spires that
surmounts the building and the turbine bridges.
The spires on the Bahrain World Trade Centre touched
a height of 240 m. The two spires have an overall
height of 57 m and erected at a base level of 183 m.
The spires were divided into 5 tiers to enable
erection using the centrally placed 6 ton crane on
site. Safety was a huge consideration. Also to
install the spires at such heights is a great
challenge not only because of the height but also
wind conditions.
Similarly, it was also a feat itself to install the
turbine bridges for the wind turbines by using
strand jacks. This time installation has to span
between the two towers besides the requirement to
contend with the wind and limited lifting
facilities.
