Engineering personnel from the Holy Alawi Shrine’s Engineering and Construction Affairs Department began the concrete-pouring operations for the “Al-Ghadir” commercial and service complex project, in the presence of and under the supervision of the Deputy Custodian of the Holy Alawi Shrine, Sayyid Eisa al-Khirsan, along with members of the Board of Directors — a step marking an important stage in the project’s completion process.
Mustafa Mahbouba, Head of the Engineering and Construction Affairs Department, stated in an interview with the News Center:
“More than 3,000 cubic meters of concrete were used in the concrete-pouring operations for this project, with 4 concrete plants and more than 100 mixer trucks taking part in the operation.”
He added:
“This project is being built on a 15,000-square-meter plot of land, and its design combines authentic Islamic architecture with the requirements of modern development, so that the complex becomes a comprehensive facility incorporating commercial, hotel, residential, religious, and service functions.”
He explained:
“This project includes commercial units, hotel rooms, residential units, a rest station, a large mosque, and a modern parking facility with a capacity of approximately 895 vehicles, which will help organize vehicle traffic and address the parking shortage in the old urban fabric of Najaf.”
The “Al-Ghadir” complex project is being carried out within the framework of the Holy Alawi Shrine’s approach to implementing service and development projects — initiatives aimed at improving the urban condition of Najaf and strengthening the services provided to the city’s residents and pilgrims.
