  • Design and Supervision of Advisory Signage and Media Awareness for Bandar Al Khayran, Wilayat Muscat, Sultanate of Oman
  • Project Location:

    Bandar Al Khayran is located in the Governorate of Muscat, about 20 kms southeast of Muscat.

    The main component of the project/Objective:

    Bandar Al Khayran is a magnificent environmental and cultural asset for Oman. It is a complex mix of steep mountainous lands and wadis that meet the Gulf of Oman in beaches and protected coves fringed by diverse coral communities. Gazelle roam the rugged coastline while turtles nest on the protected beaches. Local community association with the land and sea has endured for thousands of years. Nowadays, the waters are shared with Omani and international tourists who come to experience its natural environment, the outstanding beauty and its rich history.

    Communicate key environmental, safety and site usage guidelines for users accessing Bandar Al Khayran either by sea or by land, as well as potential users; promoting responsible use of the sensitive and valuable environmental assets of the area for the benefit of the environment and for visitors enjoyment, satisfaction and safety.

    The Scope of Work is detailed as follows:

During each part of the design phase the Consulting Engineer is expected to liaise closely with Client's technical team in order to elaborate, add or modify the design.
