Al Raha Beach

The Al Raha Beach development is a beachfront project being built along the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway, opposite Al Raha Gardens.

The USD$15 billion development sits on reclaimed land at Al Raha Beach, occupying an area of 6.8 million square metres, with a total built-up area of 12 million square metres. Developed by ALDAR, Al Raha Beach will be a new city district that will serve as the new gateway to Abu Dhabi City and accommodate 120,000 residents in an arrangement of high-rise towers and low-rise developments. It is being built in 11 residential and commercial precincts, each with its own distinct personality and appeal.

With support from other GHD offices, the Abu Dhabi team will generate more than 10,000 drawings in executing structural, electrical, plumbing, architectural, infrastructure, traffic and landscaping services for the Al Seef District. GHD is also assisting ALDAR to obtain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for the Al Seef development, using input and support from the GHD environmental team in the Middle East. GHD’s role also includes construction supervision services.

Mechanical systems being designed include air conditioning, ventilation and multi-level carpark ventilation. The design includes provision of smoke control systems with smoke exhaust and stair pressurisation systems.
