Mammoet completes Sheybarah Island Resort Installation at The Red Sea
Mammoet, the global leader in engineered heavy lifting and transport, has successfully completed the transportation and installation of 73 prefabricated villa orbs from Sharjah, UAE, to Sheybarah Island in the Saudi Red Sea.
The Red Sea, a key gigaproject announced as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, spans 28,000 square kilometers; it is expected to provide a significant boost to the country's GDP, supporting economic diversification and generating employment opportunities. The completion of the installation of all orbs on Sheybarah Island Resort marks a pivotal moment in the realization of this visionary project, which started in May 2022.
The Resort, featuring a hyper-luxury hotel designed by Killa Design, with uniquely shaped overwater and beach villas, front-of-house, and F&B buildings, stands as a testament to Mammoet's commitment to precision and excellence in engineered heavy lifting.
“The installation of the last villa is a momentous occasion that reflects Mammoet’s dedication to executing complex projects. The use of tailor-made solutions, including the deployment of a 650t capacity Demag CC3800 crawler crane on Mammoet’s modified barge, ALE 250, underscores Mammoet’s commitment to minimizing environmental impact,” said Jack van den Brink, Managing Director for Mammoet Middle East and Africa.
The shallow draft of the barge, coupled with a retrofitted 300t spud jacking system from Mammoet's partner Combifloat, ensured minimal disruption to the delicate marine environment during the installation process. Precision engineering, hyper-accurate GPS systems, and locally controlled jacking mechanisms contributed to the flawless placement of the overwater villas onto their foundations.
Mammoet demonstrated its expertise by overseeing the complete factory-to-foundation process and ensuring a seamless integration of these architectural marvels into the pristine landscape of Sheybarah Island—a habitat rich in mangroves, white sand dunes, and vibrant coral reefs.
“We are proud to have played a pivotal role in bringing RSG's vision to life. We remain committed to delivering excellence in every project, in this case contributing to the creation of the world's most spectacular and sustainable hotels,” added Jack.
