In a landmark display of engineering expertise, operational precision, and safety excellence, Nasser S. Al-Hajri Corporation successfully executed the single largest continuous mass concrete pour in the history of the Amiral Project Complex. This has resulted in placing an extraordinary 5,010 cubic meters of concrete, with six pump trucks delivering 835 cubic meters each, and two pump trucks on standby over a 24-hour period for the Clean Water Lifting Basin under the HDPE and Logistics Package 2 and 3.

This record-breaking pour not only reinforces NSH’s reputation as a regional leader in industrial construction but also marks a pivotal structural milestone for the Amiral Derivatives and Logistics Megaproject, a flagship initiative led by SATORP, Maire Tecnimont, and strategic partners.

The massive operation was the result of weeks of meticulous planning, culminating in joint concrete design and logistics meetings held on July 27 and 28. The pour began precisely at 4:30 p.m. and was completed the next day at the same hour — executed with zero major incidents and full compliance with project safety and quality standards.

Throughout the 24-hour operation, strict safety protocols and engineering oversight were enforced. No first aid cases were reported — a testament to NSH’s unwavering commitment to workplace safety and planning excellence.

“This was a truly challenging job — handling over 1,215 tons of steel, intensive formwork, and non-stop concrete placement — and yet we executed it without a single incident. That speaks volumes of the team’s discipline and dedication,” said site leadership in a statement.

Site-wide coordination involved real-time QC inspections, flagman-led traffic management, 24/7 lighting, and specialized crews assigned to each pump station. Toolbox talks and safety briefings ensured all personnel remained aligned with the project’s expectations.

The milestone event was formally flagged off in the presence of key executives and stakeholders, including Ganesh Ravi Pillai, executive director; Suresh, senior vice president; Augustin, regional operations director of NSH; Sherin, regional manager of NSH; Guna, senior project manager; senior personnel from Maire Tecnimont and SATORP, Amiral site leadership from SATORP and project EPC partners.

“We’re proud of our Amiral team. This is a recordable achievement for the NSH family — the result of seamless coordination, disciplined execution, and total team effort. Congratulations to all involved,” said Pillai, addressing the site team after completion.

Also in attendance were representatives from Qanbar Readymix, who played a crucial role in maintaining supply flow, supported by their operational and quality teams.

This pour forms the structural foundation for the Clean Water Lifting Basin — a core component of the Amiral project’s logistics infrastructure. 

Its successful completion ensures readiness for downstream units critical to the facility’s operation and is a vital step in ��������’s push toward becoming a global petrochemical hub.

“NSH has once again demonstrated the capability to lead complex, high-stakes executions with precision,” said senior representatives from Maire Tecnimont and SATORP.

NSH continues to set benchmarks in industrial construction, engineering excellence, and safety-first executions. This historic pour at the Amiral site reaffirms NSH’s role as a trusted partner in advancing the Kingdom’s most ambitious industrial programs.

Nestlé �������� and BinDawood Holding concluded the 7th edition of the Nestlé Academy Specialized Training Program with the graduation of 38 trainees after four weeks of intensive training, The graduation ceremony was held in Jeddah in the presence of Waleed bin Dawood, chief commercial officer of BinDawood Holding, and Bassel Moghrabi, Nestlé’s director of sales for ��������, Bahrain and Oman.

This edition stood out through a strategic partnership with one of Nestlé’s key clients, BinDawood Holding, a leading retail company with over 100 branches across the Kingdom.

The program lasted four weeks, three of them were dedicated to training at Nestlé’s headquarters in Jeddah, and included workshops and educational classes on the basics of sales in the labor market, workshops on developing communication and sales skills as a key pillar of the success of any business, in addition to field visits to Nestlé warehouses and supermarkets, and practical applications, which contributed to enhancing practical as well as theoretical knowledge.

One week of training was conducted with BinDawood Holding, where an integrated field schedule was prepared that included visits to the company’s commercial branches. Students learned about the way products are displayed and sold, the mechanism of cooperation between the two companies, the nature of selling Nestlé products within the branches of BinDawood Holding, methods of targeting consumers, distribution departments, and preparing advertisements for products, all of which helped them to enhance their understanding of the work environment in a realistic way.
