Sharjah

driving force
behind the
transformation
of the city,
Sharjah.
Shurooq’s
two key
projects, the

Kingfisher
Lodge
Ecological
Resort Project,
required
aesthetically
sensitive and
environmentally
friendly
materials for
constructions.
GRT’s
unique
specifically

critical in
creating high
quality,
eco-friendly
infrastructure
for each
project.
Mleiha
Archaeological
and Eco-Tourism
Project:
The
Mleiha
Archaeological
site project
has been
nominated by
UNESCO as a
World Heritage
site,
reflecting the
rich
archaeological
and cultural
heritage of the
area.
GRT
was appointed
by Shurooq due
to their
expertise with
innovative
products and

agriculture and
land

GRT
General

Grundy says
that the
firm’s proven
ability to deal
with difficult
conditions
associated with
protecting
environmentally
sensitive areas
and historical
archaeological
sites meant
positive
outcomes for
the Mleiha
project.The
project
required roads,
car parks, and
pathways that
provided high
quality, safe
access through
the desert
environment,
while blending
to the
landscape.
GRT’s unique,
clear drying
stabilisation
and sealing
products
delivered
aesthetically
pleasing,
natural looking
roads, that are
durable, dust

weatherproof.

unique group of
luxury lodges

Mangrove area,

an eco-friendly
solution to
maintain the
elements of the
natural road
around the
resort.

environmentally
friendly
technology
enabled the
project to have
minimal impact

environment.GRT’s
clear sealing
product,
GRT7000 is very
inert and
environmentally
friendly.

the ability to
seal and
strengthen the
road surface,
this gave the
Kingfisher
Lodge, roads
that blend in
with the sandy
surrounds, but
maintain their
integrity and
are 100% dust
free and
waterproof.

a partnership
between the
Sharjah

Development
Authority and
Mantis

Kingfisher
Lodge project
aims to
preserve and
maintain the
natural
surrounds.A
unique
environment in
the Middle
East, this
resort is
situated in
amongst a
protected
wetland and
nature reserve
right on the
Arabian Sea.
GRT7000 was
used to provide
high-quality
roads and
accesses
because it is
independently
tested and
proven in the
field to be
safe and
environmentally
friendly
