Applus+, a globally recognized leader in inspection, testing, and certification, has significantly expanded its role in the Yiti Sustainable City project, Oman’s first fully green development. Initially brought on board for lifting operator training, Applus+ has now taken on a broader scope, encompassing comprehensive inspections of lifting equipment and accessories. This expansion underscores the vital role of the Applus+ Lifting Department in ensuring the project adheres to the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
When Galfar Engineering & Contracting, the major contractor for the Yiti Sustainable City project, first enlisted Applus+, it was specifically for the company’s expertise in lifting operator training. However, impressed by the quality and reliability of Applus+ services, Galfar and its client saw the potential for a wider application of their skills. Recognizing the need for stringent safety measures and high standards, Applus+ was soon entrusted with the inspection of all lifting equipment and accessories on site.
The Applus+ Lifting Department offers a full range of services related to the testing and inspection of lifting equipment and accessories. These services are critical for ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of construction projects, especially ones with the scale and environmental significance of the Yiti Sustainable City. The department also trains and certifies personnel to meet both local and international standards, providing a comprehensive approach to lifting operations.
With the ability to review clients’ internal procedures and supervise heavy and technical lifts globally, Applus+ brings over 25 years of experience both offshore and onshore. Their focus on health, safety, and efficiency has made them a trusted partner in major construction projects worldwide.
The Yiti Sustainable City project, part of the Phase 1 Yiti Integrated Tourism Development Masterplan, covers over 1 million square meters. It is the first project in Oman to meet global green practices and sustainability standards. Located in the capital city of Muscat, the project’s unique topography features majestic mountains, undisturbed valleys, and pristine shores, creating a competitive and stunning destination.
Applus+ continues to receive orders for loading platform load testing, passenger hoist inspections, lifting equipment and tools inspections, and operator training from Galfar and its subcontractors. This continuous engagement underscores the trust and confidence placed in Applus+’s expertise.
The expanded role of the Applus+ Lifting Department in the Yiti Sustainable City project is a significant milestone for the company. It reinforces their commitment to excellence and sustainability in the construction and development sector. As Applus+ continues to deliver unparalleled services, they remain a key player in advancing green and sustainable development in Oman and beyond.
