Specification Package
100% Tender Design – 11 April 2018

1. Introduction
Al Sahel Resort B.S.C ("the Client") has contracted DSA Architects as the Lead Design &
Site Supervision Consultant (via a Direct Agreement with MSCEB who is acting as the
Local Architect of Record and Engineer) to undertake multi-disciplinary design services
for the Project.

Al Sahel Resort B.S.C ("the Client") has contracted DSA Architects as the Lead Design &
Site Supervision Consultant (via a Direct Agreement with MSCEB who is acting as the
Local Architect of Record and Engineer) to undertake multi-disciplinary design services
for the Project.

The Project was originally conceived by the Client, a Joint Venture between Bahrain
Mumtalakat Holding Company (BMHC) and Dubai Properties Group, to boost Bahrain’s
tourism market.

Located on the largely untouched Southwest coast of Bahrain, the Project site is
located approximately 45 kilometres Southwest of Manama and occupies an
outstanding waterside location on 711,691m2 of land with 1,250m of beachfront.

Construction on this multi-million-dollar resort-type Project commenced in early 2007


and was to include for 403 keys, a 25,000m² conference facility and a reclaimed island
allocated for Royal Villas. The Project scheme was originally set to utilize traditional
Bahraini architecture in a similar manner to the Madinat Jumeirah development in
Dubai, U.A.E. and was set to be the location of the 2009 GCC Summit.

Construction on the Project was ceased in January 2009 after having completed the
foundations on the main land along with parts of the main building, conference facility,
beach villas and the full reclamation of the island.

DSA, who acted as the original Lead Design Consultant for the Project, has been
reengaged by the Client in the same capacity to develop, along with the Client,
Operator and Cost Consultant, a revised design which takes cognisance of the as built
condition of the Project and the Client's desire to establish the Project as world class
resort.

The beach works and control structures construction includes the scope elements as
listed below and as shown in the Detailed Design Drawings:

• Beach Reprofiling;
• Back of Beach Control Structures;
• Control Structure (Groynes);
• Beach Re-nourishment.

2. Scope of Work
The Works comprise of, but not limited to, the supply and delivery of all mechanical,

B. The stopgate shall be designed for installation at the bottom of the channel with a civil
work apron wall extending up from the top of the opening, to deck level.

C. The stopgate shall be designed for lowering and raising under conditions of no flow
and with balanced water levels on the upstream and downstream faces.

D. The seal arrangement shall be suitable for sealing in one direction only with an on-
seating head.

E. Equalising valves are fitted in each stopgate to enable the isolated chamber to be
flooded prior to removal of the gate. The valves are operated as part of the lifting
procedure. After engagement of the lifting beam, the initial lift opens the valves
without raising the stopgate, and allows the water to pass through the gate to equalise
the pressure on both sides. When the water level is equal on both sides, the stopgate
can be removed.

F. The stopgate shall be fitted with guide blocks which locate it between the guides and
align the seals on the sealing face.

A. The guides, comprising seal angles, cills, lintels and guide angles, will be manufactured
from angle sections, fitted with studs and adjusting nuts which are grouted into the civil
work.

stopgate during raising and lowering operations. The ends of the lifting beam are fitted
with guide blocks which locate in the guides and align it with the stopgate lifting points.

B. The lifting hook is connected to a pivoted weight assembly which determines the
closed or open bias. Appropriate operation of the assembly causes the beam to
automatically engage or disengage with the stopgate during raising and lowering
operations. An interlock is incorporated in the lifting beam to prevent it disengaging
from the stopgate until the cill sensing device operates.

6.4.4 Materials of Construction

The materials of construction shall be:

A. Stopgate Structure: Carbon Steel


• Lifting Rods: Carbon Steel
• Lifting Rod Guide: Nylatron GSM
• Equalising Valve: Carbon Steel
• Equalising Valve Seal: Neoprene

• Guide Blocks: Ertalon
• Guide Frames: Duplex Stainless Steel
• Guide Frame Fixing Bracket: Duplex Stainless Steel
• Embedded Fixings: Carbon Steel
• Exposed Fixings: Stainless Steel Gr.A4-70
• Lifting Beam: Carbon Steel

B. All items not manufactured in corrosion resistant materials, or otherwise protected, are
protected as follows:-
• Abrasive blast clean to BS.7079, Sa2.5
• Apply one coat of two component, polyamide cured epoxy primer to a dry film
thickness of 25 microns.
• Apply two coats of two component, polyamide cured, coal tar epoxy coating to
a total dry film thickness of 325 microns.
• Total nominal coating thickness of finished paint system, 350 microns.
• Finish colour, black.
• The control of the paint coating thickness is carried out in accordance with BS EN
ISO 14713/12944. The average of the readings taken over any square metre will
equal or exceed the nominal thickness, and in no case will any reading be less
than 75% of the nominal thickness.
• Carbon steel components which will be embedded in civil work are protected by
a coating of rust preventing fluid.
