60PC CONSTRUCTION WORK OF GWADAR FREE ZONE COMPLETED

[Kabira]

Sixty percent construction work of the first-phase of Gwadar Free Zone has been completed.


In an interview with 'China Daily', Deputy General Manager of Gwadar Free Zone Company, Hu Yaozong, said Chinese and Pakistani engineers are working round the clock to open the free zone for operation as early as possible.

He said the free zone is a key step towards developing Gwadar Port into an important regional hub that will benefit not only south Asia, but also Central Asian and Middle East countries.

Hu Yaozong said the second-phase construction of the free zone is featured with a huge stainless steel factory which would create a number of jobs for locals.

He said besides Chinese and Pakistani investors, a lot of investors from other countries have also shown keen interest in business opportunities in the free zone.

The free zone is spread over 923 hectares of land and will be developed in four phases.

The Zone has specially been designed to take advantage of Balochistan's rich fishery and mineral resources by developing relevant industries for overseas market and light industry for domestic consumption.

Good to these these pics... however that doesn't look like 60% of the work being completed... more like initial groundwork

Ground work and laying foundations (inc drainage etc etc) of any construction project is the most costly (up to 50% depending on the height of the buidling) and time consuming part of the construction. Raising the building ground up and fixtures and fittings are the easier and speedy bits.

Just analyse any small or large scale construction project.
