Italconsult SpA is providing engineering consultancy services (in
joint venture with Gesbau2ace) for reviewing the designs and supervising
the construction works of the 5th Stage of the program defined
as “Consulting services for the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques
King Abdulah Bin Abdul-Aziz Project” (KAP5) for the Ministry
of Interior of KSA (Security Planning and Development Agency).The
project includes the Design Review, Project Management and Construction
Supervision of 370 sites comprising residential buildings,
administrative offices, traffic divisions, police stations, drug control
units, civil defense centers etc. to be built all over the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia.
Our Team is diveded in a central Head Office and sites offices on 370
sites, within 5 different areas and 17 different sectors in the KSA.The
Head Office is responsible for the entire administrative supervision
and management, cost control, technical assistance, and support
services and is composed of 73 persons.The Construction Supervision
Team is composed by 509 technical staff members distributed
among 17 sectors. The sites are organized with the repetition of 88
defined schemes so called “prototypes” to be adjusted to all the
different locations countrywide. Each area includes several buildings,
which require security systems and alarm such as fire fighting
systems, specialty protection systems, gas detection systems, elevator
systems, building management systems and other security
systems to be monitored. Parking (ground and multistory) are also
included, as well as hard and soft landscaping.Some of the geographical
locations for sites are outside urban areas, on deserts and
rugged mountains far from urban areas, and this adds complexity to
the logistic of the project.
