Tadmur builds a modern club for women at Sport City-Qatar
Tadmur Contracting and Trading Establishment was racing ahead to ensure the timely completion of the Doha Women’s Club by the end of August.
The QR90 million ($24.7 million) facility is specially designed to meet the recreational needs of the Qatari women and includes all indoor and outdoors sports facilities that could be expected of a modern club. It includes a health spa, business centre, library, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, squash courts, hair-dresser and beauty parlour and restaurant and café.
The building features an expansive glazed façade and a space frame supporting a curvilinear roof comprising aluminium cladding panels.
Tadmur is currently engaged in the finishing works on the project, which include the erection of the suspended ceilings and commissioning of the electro-mechanical works.
“The main challenge we faced was the time constraints in executing this project,” says a spokesman for Tadmur.
Among the key aspects of the Tadmur contract was the design and construction of the club’s swimming pool and spas and plunge pool building.
“Sport City-Qatar is a state-of-the-art sports complex and we are using a high standard of workmanship and materials while ensuring that the project is completed by the end of August,” says Ghaith Alqudah, division manager of Tadmur Swimming Pool and Spas Division.
Tadmur started work on the clubhouse in July 2005.
“We have designed and built the indoor, outdoor (main) and children’s swimming pools, the entrance and rear fountains, plunge pool and portable spa within the club. Due to our vast experience in the field, we successfully tackled the challenge of the intricate designing involved in the swimming pools and tiles and special filtration and heating systems for the swimming pool, jacuzzi, spas and plunge pools,” he adds.
