Notable projects
Burj Al Arab
Al Gurg Fosroc was required to work hand in hand with the contractors and other project consultants to identify the best product combinations that would provide optimal performance in difficult circumstances. The Burj Al Arab is the world's tallest hotel, constructed on a man-made island, surrounded by a seawater environment. Amongst a myriad of construction challenges, careful consideration needed to be given in the selection of concrete admixtures and products to provide waterproofing and pile heads.[6]
