Kuwait is a nation that boasts the world’s sixth-largest known oil reserves and a population of just around 4.25 million. Yet, it faces a number of challenges in translating its oil wealth into broader economic development.
Two ambitious development projects – South Sabah Al-Ahmad City, taking shape 80 km south of the capital and the mixed-use J3 Project within Jaber Al-Ahmad City – are currently under construction in Kuwait representing a transformative vision for the country’s urban landscape.
In line with its vision to redevelop Kuwait’s prime waterfront area, the Touristic Enterprises Company (TEC) has recently marked the completion of the newly revamped Phase One of the Waterfront Development. The waterfront redevelopment project extends 9.7 km from the Kuwait Towers to the Yacht Club.
The world’s first on-site 3D printed large water tanks have been constructed in Kuwait by Abyan Building Construction Company using a Cobod 3D construction printer and achieving a 25 per cent savings on the amount of concrete and reinforcement that would be required in traditionally constructed tanks.
