Mauritania Office Building

This project is located in Sahara area of Mauritania, with poor ecological and climatic conditions, hot and dry sand and dust storms occur frequently wind with sand everywhere. Temperature is very different between day and night, different seasons, from 17C to 50C. Annual rainfall average is less than 100mm, water scarcity; so there were few inhabitants round the place.

This project is ordered by CCC, one of the biggest construction companies in the world, who installed this project for a local mining company. Our installation manager said because sand and dust storms occur frequently, the installation progress was very slow.

Ark provided 50 x 30’ flatpack cabins for her strategic partner in Mauritania the sub-Sahara desert area as office complex, which were two twin blocks. In each office complex, the office rooms were partitioned on two sides with the corridor in the middle. There were 7 x Two Persons Office rooms, 1 x Three Persons Office room, 10 x One Person Office rooms, 1 x Conference Room (accommodating 20 persons), 3 x Manager Office rooms, 1 x Director Office room, 1 x Secretary Office room, 1 x Document Control Office room, 1 x Engineering Office room, 1 x Kitchen/Coffee room, 1 x sanitary room and the reception area. On both ends were entrance doors.

All roofs, floors, corner posts, wall panels, partition panels, trims and sanitary wares had been packed together in the containers and transported onto the desert land.

After two months struggling with the sand storm weather, the two office complex had been put into operations so that the mining workers there have a proper place to stay in and to work
Although the severe climate condition did influence our installation progress, we tried our best to maintain the high quality work according to our internal quality control system, which impressed our client a lot. CCC says that they look forward to having further cooperation with Ark (China) in the near future.
