Concrete specialist looking to capitalise on 40% increase in Oman business

WARWICKSHIRE industrial concrete flooring specialist Twintec is aiming to capitalise on a 40% construction surge in the Sultanate of Oman.
 
Rugby-based Twintec is a leading producer of ‘jointless’ steel-fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) industrial floors and the firm has a global turnover of around €200m. It produces more than six-million square metres of industrial flooring slabs worldwide each year.
 
The firm, which first started trading in Oman in 2011, has secured orders to design and construct 195,900 square metres of large panel SFRC floor slabs to date in the Sultanate this year. It represents a 41% rise on sales figures in 2015, which saw Twintec designing and constructing 138,874 square metres of the same product. Between 2011 and 2014 it supplied 59,900 square metres of concrete flooring to Oman.
 
In total, Twintec has now designed and constructed 800,000 square metres of large panel ‘jointless’ SFRC industrial flooring to the Middle East region, excluding Saudi Arabia.
 
Twintec technical and commercial director Tom Menary, who leads the firm’s operations in Oman, said the Sultanate was a key target market within the MENA region after successfully delivering 16 projects in the last five years.

Projects include installing the first ‘jointless’ SFRC slab in Oman at Al Madina Warehouse, Barka, one of the country’s most famous developments, with more recent work secured with Muscat Airport and Nissan warehouse in Sohar.
 
“Twintec is experiencing strong growth in Oman and the broader Middle East because our offering is entirely unique to the market,” said Mr Menary. “We take total responsibility. This includes world-class design, research and technology built up over many years, along with highly skilled engineers and workers carrying out design and construction, backed up by rigorous quality control and insurance policies. This comprehensive service package goes way beyond regular industry standards.
 
“Due to our unique offering we are building a strong track record in the Sultanate. The scale of our projects has varied greatly from the biggest single floor slab of 58,791 square metres, and biggest overall project involving 110,000 square metres to the smallest which covered 2,500 square metres of floor space.”

The firm’s target sectors include warehouses, manufacturing sites, exhibition halls, cold stores, distribution centres for the likes of supermarkets, as well as structural raft foundations.
