HBK Contracting
After tracing the companys projects, it can
be noted that it focuses on big national
prestigious projects with high importance to
the state. The company have proved that
that it has a high reliability profile, in 2004 it
was awarded the ISO 140001 Certificate for
its environmentally friendly practices, the
certificate is given to companies that
continually manage to minimize its foot
print.In 2007 a major achievement for the
company was made, HBK has earned ISO 18001 Certificate, which is a major
milestone as health and safety was a top importance for both the company and
the state, the certificate is given to companies who had developed an advance
health and safety management systems. After that the company had its ISO
9001 in 2008 for its quality management system, that has developed rapidly to
cop up with the countrys development.
About HBK
At the moment the company has a Paidup capital of more than 50,000,000 QR,
paid up capital is the money that HBK is
worth from selling all of its stocks to
shareholders. The company is growing it
has 7000 employees, however it also was
affected by the drop of oil prices and this
number is possibly going down.
The W.L.L. company has completed
fundamental projects to the state, these
projects include many public, industrial,
and high superstructures buildings,
however the company is mainly
concerned with the field of infrastructure
and substructure as it is the most
profitable in the market and it plays a
major role in developing the country. The
main client of HBK is the government,
mainly Ashghal and Kahrama, at the
moment also Meshereb and AlRail. One
of the major completed projects is Doha
North Sewerage Treatment Plant. The
company is now undergoing huge
projects mainly in infrastructure, mega
water reservoirs and the rail are main on
going projects. They have a value of
more than ten billion Qatari Riyal. In this
progress report the light will be spotted
on a 662,860,795.39 Qatari Riyal huge
and important Roads and Infrastructure in
Bani Hajer in Al Rayyan.
Project Description
HBK has won the bid of
two package from
Ashghal, package 01
consist of phase 1 and
phase 2, both are north of
Bani Hajer. Phase 1 is the
construction of road and
infrastructure around mall
of Qatar, a half million
square meter shopping
mall, which at the moment
of opening will be the
biggest in Qatar.Phase 1 of
Pakage 01 convers the
East, North and West side
of the mall. Phase 2 of the
pakage is the construction
of roads and infrastructure
of the celebration road at
Al Rayyan Stadium which
is constructed for the
2022 FIFA world Cup.
Assigned Duties
In this training HBK contracting had
assigned me to Roads and Infrastructure
in Bani Hajer North Phase 1 & 2 as a civil
engineering trainee. I am required to
follow up and keep record of the site
activity as well as the lay down are, in
addition I am also required to meet with
MEP engineers in the Villa office to gain
some Multidisciplinary Experience as civil
engineers job always require a high level
of understanding to other disciplines.
During the period of the month of holy
Ramadan my shift was morning from 5:30
am to 11:30am. After that it is from 5:00 to 11:30, in the site then I can go to
laydown area or to the villa office.
After I finish my daily site visit I go to laydown are where I see how materials
and pipes are recived and tested for approval to be used in the site.

day of my training and the 2nd day for me in the
the focus started to be on the technicality of the
work as I was introduced generally to the work
the previous day, from now on there are more
technical details as I ask my supervisor and he
supplied me with the answers, also I was
introduced to the foremen so I can
differentiate between their duties.

Multidisciplinary Experience
Although that this internship did not had a dense experience of civil engineering
design for superstructures but it had a massive multidisciplinary expertise, from
management to the QA and QC experience to the wide range of materials used
in addition to all the road and infrastructure work done with its MEP experience.
Starting with management, planning
was the first thing that I was exposed
to. How the work is divided to clusters
as shown, made understanding and
handling any project possible. The
flexibility with deadlines and the
redundancy was a main thing that I
noticed in the project, for example if a
pipe broke or a worker was absent
there was a redundant that will do the
job. This ably even on time.
Another thing in planning is the
working structure, on both the work
done and the duties to be done.
Flexibility also was present as the role of site manager can be done by site
engineer if needed or if one excavation
Work divided to clusters with
team is done early they can help others
deadlines
to finish faster.
For the quality assurance and quality control I was induced to QCS and the
method statement and many different tests that must be done that I never
heard of in during my theoretical study. Chemical test for steel bars was one,
also the procedures for those tests was a massive addition to my experience.
Both materials and MEP was a main addition, brief is presented as follows:
In this project the infrastructures are done for water pipes, treated sewage
influent TSE pipes, surface water, storm water, sewage pipes, pressurized
sewage pipes, electricity pipes and telecommunications pipes.
For the water and pressurized sewage, ductile iron pipes with the blue warp and
the inner green painting respectively are used, TSE utilizes Glass fiber reinforced
plastics GRP pipes with diameter of 350mm for long straight distances and thick
High-density polyethylene HDPE where lots of bends are present with varying
diameters. vitrified clay pipes are used as perforated for surface water and
unperforated for storm and sewage water. Also for storm water reinforced
concrete pipes with HDPE liner are used. Likewise, whenever microtunneling is

Conclusion
In conclusion the training experience was rich with expertise, I had the chance
to work with very professional people on a huge project which added to me on
various levels.
I was able to increase my productivity and the productivity of any team I work
with or manage, since most my time was in the site the management skills that
I gained was useful, how to interact with different people and how and who to
ask for different task was something that I learnt over six weeks in the site. I
also learnt about wide collection of construction methods and material. After the
training I believe I can work in any project utilizing the method statement for
any work and the shop drawings. That can give a complete idea of whats the
work to be done.
I developed an ability to quickly read and map and extract the needed data from
it, and how to handle and organize big files and many drawing in a way that
allow the fastest access to them.
I also made good connections with different people at different positions not
only in HBK but also with cement and gravel factories and with kahrama and
ashghal, also with many HBK subcontractors.
Mainly I was fortunate to see lot of what I studied n college on reality and
develop a vision of how the construction is done.
The weakness of the training is the lake of structural and software experience.
Overall, my training has prepared me to go work in the market in very good
manner.
