Dubai-based design-build contractor AMANA has shifted its modular construction from the sites of Saudi megaprojects to its new factory in Rabigh, Saudi Arabia.
The factory is in response to the surging demand for offsite manufacturing technologies enabled by subsidiary DuBox in the Kingdom, the company said in a statement.
Therefore, DuBox moved 85 percent of construction from its megaproject sites, such as Qiddiya and Red Sea Global’s tourism destinations, to its new factory.
At the 70,000-sqm plant, DuBox will design, manufacture and assemble entire buildings, producing 16 modules daily.
DuBox has delivered 130,000 sq m of construction in Saudi Arabia since 2012. AMANA Manufacture has completed over 2,500 pods and designed over 50 units since 2020 through DuBox and DuPod, the statement said.
Hattan Ghazi Nazer, Vice President KSA at Group AMANA, said: “We are well-positioned to support the country’s Saudization efforts by sourcing materials locally and supporting talent development.”
AMANA has delivered a total of 50 projects from January to December 2022.
