Project Overview
Atlas Contracting was awarded the structural and civil works package for a new aggregate crushing facility in the Al Dhaid area of Sharjah. The project required heavy-duty steel platforms, conveyor support structures, and reinforced concrete foundations designed to withstand continuous vibration loading from the crushing equipment.

- Civil Works: Mass concrete foundations for all major equipment including jaw crusher, cone crushers, and vibrating screens. Retaining walls for material stockpile areas and access ramp construction
- Crusher Plant Construction: Installation of conveyor support structures, chute work, and walkway/access platforms with safety handrails throughout
- Painting & Insulation: Full protective coating system on all steelwork — SA 2.5 blast, zinc-rich primer, epoxy intermediate, and polyurethane topcoat rated for harsh desert conditions
Key Achievements
- All steelwork fabricated in our Sharjah workshop and delivered on schedule
- Foundations completed during summer months with concrete temperature control measures
- Zero safety incidents across the 7-month project duration
- Plant achieved target production capacity during commissioning trials
