F&M Middle East, a leading consulting firm in the field of civil and architectural design, said it has secured a contract from Khazaen, the newest integrated economic city of Oman, to provide detailed design and tender documents for Phase One of its vegetables and fruit market project.

 

This comes following the signing of an agreement between Muscat Municipality and Khazean for the relocation of its facility to Kazean Economic City.

 

The market shift will ensure more organized, well-planned, fully air-conditioned, and spacious market with ultra-modern facilities for wholesalers and buyers, which will translate to a lesser heavy vehicle traffic entry on Muscat’s roads, said a statement from F&M Middle East.

 

The new Khazaen Central Fruits Vegetables Market is being planned to be three times the size of Al Mawaleh facility with provision for future expansion, it stated.

 

It will have facilities such as cold and dry stores, main wholesales halls, truck sales area, shaded areas for sorting and sale of onions and potatoes, agricultural inspection areas, office spaces for operating companies, forklifts servicing and multiple gates for entry of trucks.

 

In addition to support services, it will boast banking facilities, a 250,000 sq m central truck parking area, mosque, supermarkets, PRO offices, and restaurants, said the statement. 

 

The new market will also have retail outlets to cater to individual customers from surrounding areas, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
