Stepping Up
Crescent Bay is on course to deliver the quality of life at par with the very best. Construction is pacing up day by day as Emaar promises to deliver your properties in 2011. We take it as our duty to share with you the current status of the progress in detail.

As per the recommendation of our consultants about 3000 piles were required to be casted for the residential plot No. 5, 7 & 8, each having a diameter from 760mm to 1000mm and depths of average 35 meters into the ground. The contract for the purpose was awarded to renowned construction contractors like Paragon Constructors (PVT) LTD and SKY Construction LLC.

Construction Facts at Crescent Bay Karachi
• 210,000 cubic meter of excavations
• 2,800 piles in reinforced concrete (3 feet diameter and 115 feet deep of which 15 feet inside hard rock)
• 80,000 cubic meter of concrete in piles
• 12,000 tons of steel bars to reinforce piles
• 140,000 square feet of raft foundations (8 feet high)
• 78,000 cubic meter of concrete in raft foundations
• 16,000 tons of steel bars in raft foundations

The process of drilling works involve reverse rotary boring up to the required depth, determined through detailed structural design carried out by internationally acclaimed consultants. Later stages involve, formation of high strength steel cage, lowering of cage in bored holes/logs to the entire depth and placement of concrete of required design strength to form an integral structural member known as Pile. All this work is under execution by specialized Engineers and Technicians, supervised by highly qualified professionals comprising our team of internationally acclaimed Consultants and Emaar Pakistan’s dedicated officials.


Future Plan
On conclusion of pile foundations work, Emaar Pakistan is planning to start work on sub structure comprising pile caps, rafts two level basements, ground floor and podium structures in September, 2009. All the requisite documentations / formalities for the tender process and award of Works are complete. The image on the top represents a typical cross-section of the building, to familiarize our valued customers with the design of RCC frame structure of the building, number of floors and to highlight its structural stability with the help of Pile Foundations.

Steady pace work on Crescent Bay project
​

Karachi—Emaar Pakistan, the country subsidiary of Emaar Properties PJSC, is progressing at a very steady pace on its Crescent Bay projects in Karachi and has already handed over the first batch of Mirador villas to its customers in Islamabad. An announcement here on Thursday said that the piling works at Crescent Bay are well in progress and consequently the construction of raft foundation has started.

It said that hundreds of foundation piles below each high rise building have been embedded into the bedrock in order to achieve full structural stability of the buildings and now the rafts will be constructed on this foundation.

Dr. Dia Malaeb, CEO Emaar Pakistan, expressed his satisfaction on the pace of work at Crescent Bay Project in Karachi and said that the company is moving ahead vigorously on its project.

He said Emaar is a global brand which has developed the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa and world’s largest mall The Dubai Mall. In Pakistan, we are committed and determined to keep our promises made to our customers and the steady pace of progress in both our projects is evident to that, Dr. Dia Malaeb added. The current phase of the project is being constructed by Paragon Constructors Limited whereas Engineering Associates Consulting Engineers are the official supervision and quality control engineers of the project.

It was further pointed out that the Crescent Bay is a vibrant community of high-rise towers set along three crescent shaped man-made bays. The Crescent Bay Development Project has been planned and is being developed by Emaar to enhance the Karachi skyline by providing a quality residential, commercial and retail community in an exclusive sector of the largest city of Pakistan.—APP

That project was first initiated during Musharraf's era, thats why his picture is up...but there is still construction going on.

There's construction still going on in most projects that were initiated during Musharraf's time.
