HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY

Al Hai & Al Mukaddam for Geotechnical Works, abbreviated as AHAM, is
committed to safeguard the Health and Safety of its employees and of all
those who may be affected by our works. It also recognizes the vital
importance of discharging its statutory obligations and placing Health &
Safety matters as an over riding priority. Across the AHAM organization the
minimum acceptable H&S standards are those required by relevant national
and international legalizations.
All staff, workforce and others employed by AHAM and their subcontractors
shall comply with this policy, aiming constantly for “Zero Accident
Tolerance”.
It is meant to be used by our management, supervisory staff workforce,
subcontractors and all other interested parties for improving and
maintaining the health and safety of our employees and the general public,
who might be affected by our work.
We are fully dedicated to continue and improving our Quality Management
System and Health and Safety procedures in order to ensure the best and
safest work possible.

WHY AHAM
LOCAL RESOURCES & LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
With our 41 years of remarkable experiences in conducting and analyzing geotechnical & geophysical
investigations we have come across all the possible problems and unexpected situations that have resulted from
this region. On various circumstances, we are commissioned to act as a third party in order to solve the different
types of geotechnical problems that arise in the region.
When it comes to prestigious large projects in the U.A.E. we are also called upon at times to set the geotechnical
& geophysical specifications of contracts before the tendering stages. In addition, our extensive large data base
of investigations in the region gives us great advantages in promptly recognizing reoccurring problematic
situations, which can therefore benefit clients in taking the necessary actions in order to save time and costs.
OUR DRILLING RIGS

Working with a fleet of 28 drilling rigs that are of different origins, we can perform many different types of drilling
techniques and complete large soil investigation jobs in the time required by our clients.
We are also very proud to mention that our drilling techniques always produce core recovery not less than 90%
at all times. On many previous jobs we have been called in because other local contractors were not able to
achieve the required core recovery. Most of our machines are of the newest models which are designed to
address the most up to date environmental and safety issues.
OUR CAPABILITIES
Working through our three offices in the main sectors of the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai & Sharjah),
we are in an efficient position to move around easily and take on several projects simultaneously.
In order to make the best of utilizing resources in the U.A.E. we operate our own manufacturing workshop where
we can fabricate our own drilling tools and recently we have manufactured our own drilling rigs. This advantage
makes us very responsive in analyzing problems that occur on site with equipment breakdowns. We also store
excessive amounts of spare equipment that do not need to be imported and therefore save a lot of time and
delays during operations.

 PERCUSSIONS DRILLING RIGS
The purpose of this method / type of drilling is to advance the borehole and explore the in-situ conditions
of the subsurface in superficial deposits, soil and weak rock, conduct in-situ tests like SPT, to record the
Ground water table, and collect small disturbed and bulk samples of soil, weak cemented sand and soft
rock.
AHAM has a total of 12 percussion drilling rigs supplied by international well known manufactures, which
are properly maintained and capable of achieving drilling depths of up to 30 meters.
PILCON WAYFARER

 ROTARY DRILLING RIGS
The purpose of this method / type of drilling is to advance the borehole and explore the in-situ conditions of
the subsurface in rock and retrieve rock core samples from the sub-strata. Due to its vast experience in the
region, AHAM is capable of obtaining almost complete core recovery with the use of state of the art drilling
bits and experience based drilling fluid.
AHAM has a total of 15 rotary drilling rigs supplied by international well known manufactures, which are
properly maintained and capable of achieving drilling depths exceeding 120 meters. These rigs can also be
equipped to undertake percussion drilling.
