Ahem! You are stepping on my foot....

Here is our one of our sites, Parcel 101 where we have one of eight buildings.  In the background you cane see the "Six Towers" development ICT built and own. Our  marine consultant Halcrow International have their offices on the 14th and 15th floors. I will post a picture from there next week.

This plot is adjacent to our neighbors TDIC (Tourist Development and Investment Co.) who are developing a hotel  and a fisherman's wharf and marina. They already have their contractor, Overseas AST working away.  As you can see they have already driven sheet piling along their property's sea edge. As these photos demonstrate, they have also placed them in front of our property's sea edge!

Not good. 

The last time these guys stepped on ICT property we had some angry land owners.  Now at the end of the day the properties are owned by brothers, sons of the late Sheikh Zayed, but as far as the developers and consultants like us are concerned, it just makes things complicated.

The result of the last encroachment resulted in the creation of ongoing coordination meetings run by yours truly. I can't really explain why this happened but I will soon.

Here is a picture of our property corner. Clearly our neighbors' 
piling is cutting right across and in front.

Another view of the same corner.  In the background you can see a district cooling chilled water plant.  Tabreed is the name of the utility company who unfortunately can not service our development which of course added significant cost to our project.
