Situated in the Doha zone in Kuwait, the precast yard covers an absolute surface of 150,000 square meters. The office obliges huge scale precasting strategies and gear, for example, extraordinary kind of molds, gantry cranes, steel manufacturing plant, stockpiling zone, clumping plant, restoring chambers and workplaces committed to the generation of precast fragments.
