Contractor: Mutokel

Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ACFA Building Solutions supplied and supported the drywall partition systems for the Arees Compound Project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The project involved the construction of worker accommodation partitions within a residential compound environment, requiring a durable, efficient, and cost-effective wall solution.

ACFA Fiber Cement Boards were selected to provide robust partition walls capable of withstanding intensive daily use while offering fire resistance, moisture resistance, acoustic performance, and fast installation. The drywall system enabled rapid project completion while maintaining high standards of safety, comfort, and long-term durability.

This case study highlights the project requirements, system installation, construction methodology, and the benefits achieved through the use of ACFA Fiber Cement Board systems.

 

 

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Arees Compound Project required the construction of worker accommodation partitions within a residential development in Riyadh. The project demanded a wall system capable of supporting intensive daily occupancy while ensuring occupant comfort, safety, and long-term performance.

The project required:

  • Durable partition wall systems
  • Fast-track project execution
  • Enhanced fire safety
  • Improved acoustic separation between rooms
  • Moisture-resistant construction materials
  • Cost-effective installation and maintenance
  • Flexibility for future modifications

To meet these requirements, ACFA Fiber Cement Board drywall systems were selected as a practical alternative to conventional masonry construction, combining strength, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
