RIM-K65

Le nid d'oiseau de Pékin a été conçu par Herzog & de Meuron, ArupSport, China Architecture Design and Research Group et Ai Weiwei

C’est toi qui pour argumenter incriminais que les conceptions architecturales même d’une éventuelle très grande nation se devaient d'être toujours national. Non ? Je n’ai fais que répondre à tes raisonnements volontairement biaisés.

RIM-K65

Wembley a été conçu par Foster and Partners, Populous et Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners

C'est un partenariat car certaines agences sont très expérimentées dans certaines domaines.

Wembley Stadium

Quand au Wembley Stadium situait à Wembley.Il a été crée entre autre
par Populous, une agence d’architecture Américaine. Pourtant on ne peut pas dire que les Anglais soit des incapables.

RIM-K65


Le Qatar c'est 100 % importé, en plus on peut faire appel a des étrangers pour un ou deux stades, pour une aide mais pas pour les 12 stades avec une conception a 100 % étrangère.

Ca veut dire tout simplement qu'il existe pas d'architectes Qataris capables de concevoir un stade.

Adama à 16h15

Les pays du golf possèdent de nombreuses très grandes entreprises de BTP de notoriété internationale tout à fait capables de relever le défi. Ils bâtissent déjà des structures extrêmement complexes de plus de 500 mètres de hauteur. Alors qu’il y a tout juste dix ans ils ne démarraient pratiquement de rien. De même ils mettent tous les moyens nécessaires pour acquérir le savoir faire et combler leur retard le plus rapidement possible. C’est des domaines très techniques, cela prend du temps pour former un personnel expérimenté.



…



Quand au Qatar, il possède déjà ses propres sociétés de BTP international et en fait l’acquisition d’autres au fur et mesure,afin d’étoffer d’avantage sa maitrise technologique. L’argent qu’il dépensera pour ses projets, lui reviendra automatiquement dans ses caisses.

Mais c’est bien toi qui disait que les pays du golf ne pouvaient mener à bien ces projets et que la majorité de l’argent dépensé irait de ce faite de facto à d’autres. En conclusion je t’invite expressément à relire tout le post dans son intégralité avec tous ses liens associés. A te pencher plutôt sur le retard quasi abyssal de tous les pays du Maghreb. Et de cesser de répondre inutilement à l’emporte pièce.

Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC)

Elle fait partie des Top 50, bonne lecture

With US$4.16bn made in revenue last year and more than 140,000 employees.

Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) (Arabic: شركة اتحاد المقاولين) origins go back to 1943 when Hasib Sabbagh and four other contractors established the Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) in Haifa. Sabbagh left Palestine in April 1948 and moved to Lebanon. In 1952, three talented young entrepreneurs, the late Kamel Abdul-Rahman, Hasib Sabbagh, and Said Khoury, joined forces to re-create Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) which later became the region's largest multinational contracting company as well as worldwide. Two of the founding members are presently leading the company, Hasib Sabbagh as Chairman and Said Khoury as President. The letters CCC represented a little more than the partnership of three ambitious young men. At the end of 2006, CCC’s total revenues were in excess of US$3.1 billion dollars[1].

Operations

The construction activities of CCC extending over most of the Middle East cover fields in:

* Heavy Civil Construction: power plants, bridges and highway interchanges, harbor and docks, and civil work for process plants and the petrochemical industry.
* Highways, roads and airports.
* Water and Sewage treatment plants, pumping stations and all related networks.
* Mechanical Construction: fabrication and installation of piping, erection of equipment and vessels, structural steel works for light industry and heavy mechanical works (refineries, petrochemical plants, gas oil separation plants, oil loading and off loading terminals).
* Pipelines for water, gas and oil,
* High Quality Buildings.
* Oil and Gas EPC contracts.
* Construction of new port and dry dock complex duqum (SULTANATE OF OMAN)
* Modification of Seeb International Airport MUSCAT (Adil tahir kheli)



CCC is one of the world's largest contractors and the region's largest multinational. Originally established in Lebanon CCC continues to run its business from its headquarters in Greece following its move during the Lebanese Civil War. It maintains its European and Asian markets and generates 80% of its revenue from MENA countries.

CCC has a worldwide presence with projects in Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Egypt, Yemen as well as the UAE. Projects include Dubai Mall, which is being developed with Dutco Balfour Beatty and others, Zayed Sports City and Jumeirah Bay Towers. Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping centre covering 5 million sq ft - the size of 50 international football pitches - is due for completion next year. The mall is expected to receive more than 35 million visitors in its first full year of business and the figure is expected to rise by 20-30%.

CCC aims to double its revenue by expanding its projects such as the US$900m Karachaganak gas project in Kazakhstan. It also has developments in the Yemeni GSM operator Sabafon, as well as the joint venture bidding with Japan's Marubeni Corporation and US-based BTU ventures for the purchase of a 51% stake in the Central Electricity Company, CECO.
