Niaz Engineering Key Projects
1. Construction of Pre-Detonation Layers at UNSOS Facilities, Somalia
| Project Title: | Construction of Pre-Detonation Layers over Existing Building Structures at UNSOS Facilities, Mogadishu |
|---|---|
| Client | UNSOS – United Nations Support Office Somalia |
| Location | Mogadishu, Somalia |
| Year | 2025 |
| Role | Main Contractor |
| Project Purpose | Design and construction of pre-detonation shielding layers over 35 existing overhead protection (OHP) structures and existing buildings at the UN FHQ camp in Mogadishu, Somalia. The project aimed to enhance defensive resilience by adding an upper sacrificial layer above existing Reinforced Concrete OHP slabs to absorb the impact of mortar shelling and indirect blasts impact. |
| Scope of work: | • Structural assessment and coordination for integration with existing OHP roofs; • Fabrication and installation of treated timber trusses and framework; • Installation of marine plywood boards to form continuous shielding surfaces; • Fixing of CI sheeting for upper roof coverage and protection; • Construction of braced perimeter plywood panels as side shielding; • Rainwater management via installation of gutter systems and downpipes; • Execution carried out directly above operational UN facilities with strict safety coordination; • Works delivered in line with UNSOS defensive infrastructure specifications. |
| Challenges | The roof installation had to be executed in a confined compound with no access for mechanical lifting equipment. All materials, including long trusses and roofing sheets, had to be manually handled and installed on narrow elevated surfaces, making alignment, movement, and safety particularly challenging |
| Our Solution | A temporary intermediate platform was constructed at mid-height to enable safe and efficient manual lifting of timber trusses, plywood, and roof sheets. Materials were passed up in coordinated sequences by the crew, and all works were completed on the rooftop under tight spatial constraints. Strict safety protocols, including use of harnesses, edge awareness, and staged progression, ensured smooth delivery despite the restricted environment. |
2. UNGU Safe Training Site – Reinforced Concrete Overhead Protection (OHP) Structures
| Project Title | Construction of Overhead Protection (OHP) Structures at the UNGU Safe Training Site in Mogadishu |
|---|---|
| Client | UNSOS – United Nations Support Office Somalia |
| Location | Mogadishu, Somalia |
| Year | 2024 |
| Role | Main Contractor |
| Project purpose | Design and construction of Reinforced Concrete Overhead Protection structures at the UNGU (United Nations Guard Unit) Safe Training Site in Mogadishu, Somalia. The project involved the erection of densely reinforced protective concrete canopies over existing prefabricated units to enhance personnel safety against mortar and indirect blast impact. |
| Scope of works | • Site investigation and engineering design of structural elements. • Excavation, foundation construction, and RCC column casting. • Shuttering, reinforcement, and casting of overhead protective slabs above live prefab units. • Construction of Pre-detonation layer timber truss roofing. • Installation of HESCO barriers along blast-facing sides of the building. • Construction works carried out in phases to ensure safe access and minimal disruption to ongoing UN operations. • Compliance with UN safety, operational, and defensive infrastructure standards. |
| Challenges: | Executing overhead RCC works above vacated prefab units under compound-wide operational constraints. Customizing soffit formwork systems without anchoring to or loading on existing prefab structures. The need to span wide areas with reinforced slabs while avoiding contact with sensitive UN facilities below created formwork and access planning challenges. Rebar congestion added further difficulty in controlling form vibrational stability during pouring. |
| Our Solution: | We developed independent staging using modular scaffold towers, allowing controlled casting above cleared units while maintaining compound access for other missions. Formwork was installed in phases with rapid strike mechanisms to support sequential shifts. |
3. Overhead Protection (OHP) Structures within UN compound facilities in Somalia.
| Project Title: | Construction of Various Overhead Protection (OHP) Structures within UN compound facilities in Somalia. |
|---|---|
| Client | UNSOS – United Nations Support Office Somalia |
| Location | Mogadishu, Beledweyne - Somalia |
| Year | 2021-2024 |
| Role | Main Contractor |
| Project purpose | Design and construction of more than 25 Reinforced Concrete Overhead Protection (OHP) Structures at various UN facilities in Somalia, commissioned by UNSOS. These structures were purpose-built as defensive protective roofs to shield existing prefabricated accommodation and operational units from mortar shelling and indirect blast threats, in line with UN security engineering protocols. Each OHP structure was designed to absorb and deflect blast energy from above, comprising heavily reinforced concrete slabs supported by columns and beams. |
| Scope of works | • Structural design according to protective engineering standards for blast/mortar resistance; • Site layout, excavation, and concrete substructure works around live UN facilities; • Reinforcement detailing and dense rebar mesh for high-impact load resistance; • Specialized formwork and propping to avoid overloading existing prefab units; • Concrete pouring (cast-in-situ) with high-strength mix for slab and beam elements; • Waterproofing, surface finishing, and structural integration with existing prefab modules; • Installation of solar heaters, utility access points, and protective coatings; • Executed in a phased manner to maintain UN operational continuity and strict adherence to HSE/security protocols. |
| Challenges | Executing overhead RCC works over vacated UN structures within a live compound, requiring carefully staged sequencing and non-invasive soffit formwork systems to avoid damage or disruption to surrounding operations. Traditional soffit formwork could not be used, as direct support on or through the existing prefabricated structures was prohibited. The high reinforcement density and slab span demanded a temporary works solution that ensured stability, load distribution, and safety. |
| Our solution | We engineered a suspended and cantilevered soffit formwork system using free-standing scaffold towers and custom bracing frames to transfer loads safely to the ground. This allowed safe slab pouring without touching the structures below and enabled fast phased works aligned with operational clearances. |
