As far as possible, the park was constructed to promote sustainability and nature. Not even a single tree was harmed during the construction. Green grass turf has enriched the natural beauty of the park.

Quality Assurance

As we are committed to providing quality services, we have gone through different lab tests and procedures during the construction phases. Under the strict supervision of the site engineer and constructive input from the local community, the park was built. Health and safety guidelines were strictly followed during the construction period. Waste products were managed accordingly. Cement bags and other plastic items were reused instead of burned. Decomposable waste products were collected in a separate place. Periodic curing of RCC structures was done during the construction phase. Different lab tests, like cube tests of concrete and quality certificates of cement and rebar, were placed during the handover period.
