CONSTRUCTION Products Holding Company (CPC) is supplying a variety of building materials for the construction of Saudi Arabia’s tallest building, the Abraj Al Bait, a multibillion-dollar project overlooking the Grand Holy Mosque in Makkah.

Consisting primarily of hotels, this is a seven-tower complex, with the tallest tower standing 591-m tall. Situated on a 1.5-million-sq-m area, the project will feature, among its many highlights, the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, which is considered the largest in the world – six times bigger than London’s Big Ben.

Faysal Alaquil, CPC director for business development, said: “We are very proud that CPC’s subsidiaries have participated in supplying various construction materials for this massive and impressive project.”
According to him, CPC has provided 60,000 sq m of aluminium and glass, manufactured and installed by United Arab Aluminum Company located in CPC’s Industrial Park at Bahra in the Western Province. This was in addition to the supply of precast concrete for constructing 450,000 sq m of cladding for the external facades; and 25,000 prefabricated toilets.
