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 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.

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

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.
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.

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.
