“This project is very important to HAT as it is a clear representation of end-to-end system integration composed of more than 15 different systems and this is in line with our strategy. Moreover, we are very intrigued by jointly collaborating with ACT on this project as both companies build on the competencies and qualification of one another,” said Zayan Waziry, HAT Managing Director.

The project will be completed over a span of 8 months delivering the installation of Building Management System, Fire Alarm System, Structured Cabling System, Surveillance Systems, Networking & Connectivity Systems and Compute Infrastructure Systems.

In line with Egypt’s 2030 vision for sustainable development and the country’s efforts to improve the livelihood of all Egyptians, the government established New Alamein City as a residential, industrial, commercial and touristic city in efforts to expand the North Coast beachfront. The city is being built in several phases on a total of 148,000 feddans of land with the first phase being constructed on 23,000 feddans.

Projects are divided into a 14km public promenade, 15 residential and administrative towers and residential neighbourhoods. The vision for the city encompasses accommodating three million people after the completion of all phases.

“Given the country’s direction to building new fourth-generation cities, we are in continuous engagement with the relevant stakeholders to adopt advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, internet of things and more, to develop real smart cities that are in line with the state’s vision for the future,” affirmed ACT’s Tawfik.
