Reconstruction of the Marche
De Fer (IRON MARKET)Location: Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Description: The city’s Iron Market served as a retail hub for more than a century. The original components were prefabricated in France and assembled locally into two sheds flanking a central Clock tower featuring four minaret-like towers. Fire destroyed the North Market shed in 2008 and after the earthquake of 2010 severely damaged the South Market shed, ACG (the then ADGI) was authorized to begin work on the $12 million restoration in March of that year. Extensive field investigation and a careful evaluation of the complex suggested a project approach which required the design of a new North Market. ACG of USA in association with Axis Design Consultants Ltd. (ADC) of Bangladesh designed IBC 2006 upgrades for the project, including diagonal rod bracing and supplemental anchorage details for the columns. Close inspection of salvageable original materials allowed the project’s historic character to remain. Cast-iron coupons were taken to the U.S. for testing. ACG and ADC’s responsive style allowed on-time Project completion, with an inauguration held on January 11, 2011. -
Al Aweer Sewage Treatment Plant
Location: Dubai, UAE
Description:The Al-Aweer sewage treatment plant is located 25km away from the city centre and receives sewage from both domestic wastewater and sewage. Optimal operation of the plant is essential for the city as it performs both tertiary wastewater treatment for irrigation reuse and sludge treatment for reuse as a soil fertilizer.
Al Aweer Sewage Treatment Plant was extended to include Chlorination and Sludge thickening, drying and bundling facilities. Dried and bundled sludge are transported away from the plant by trucks. There are mono rails through the wall above doors. The plant was initially designed with a capacity of 130,000m³ a day, which was later upgraded to 260,000m³ a day. -
Jetty
Location: Bagerhat, Bangladesh
Description: A new jetty was planned for a site at Mongla, Bagerhat, Bangladesh. The jetty facilitates a terminal which consists of LPG Spherical Storage, LPG bottling, Ship & road tanker loading/unloading facilities. Storage capacity of the LPG Sphere is 8000 MT with 1200 cylinders per hour bottling capacity. Terminal has 6000 cubic meter water storage tanks, 3 no’s of 1400 cubic meter/hour capacity diesel engine driven pumps, one jockey pump, gas/flame/smoke detection system, deluge system and one emergency pump installed at jetty for firefighting purpose. LPG distributes to others satellite plant of Omera Petroelum limited from this terminal through road tankers and LPG Barges.
The project consists of berthing dolphins, breasting dolphins and mooring dolphins including catwalks with following facilities. Concrete Jetty with Fenders (rubber and wooden both) Total Span: 150 meter; Jetty Head: 20 meter, Breasting Dolphins -2 no’s: 5 meter, Mooring Dolphins -4 no’s: 5 meter -
International Finance Corporation (IFC) Potential New Building
Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh
Description: The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is part of the World Bank Group. IFC currently occupies office space for its business in Dhaka with approximately 80-100 staff members. IFC looked into the option of building a new facility; a class A building in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Currently, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is located on plot # E-32, Syed Mahbub Morshed Ave, Dhaka. IFC is considering the possibility of constructing its new office building in the current IBRD parking lot at plot # E-32. The feasibility study is to evaluate the potential for a “new-build” option. -
