Overview
The Grand Mosque Expansion Project is one of the most prestigious architectural undertakings in the Islamic world, significantly enlarging the capacity and structural footprint of the Haram al-Sharif complex. UAC was commissioned to supply and install custom Glassfibers Reinforced Cement (GRC) elements—such as decorative panels, cladding, and detailed trim—integrated seamlessly within the new façade and prayer halls.

Custom GRC panels for new courtyard, prayer hall frames, and façade accents
Intricate decorative trims created using high-precision molds
Lightweight yet durable materials optimized for large-scale vertical surfaces
Weather-resistant finishes suitable for the harsh desert climate
On-site coordination with engineering teams to maintain structural alignment
Efficient logistics and installation, ensuring minimal work disruption in a culturally sensitive environment
