ADAC Project Onam Party 2017 – Wide Range Restaurant, Mussafah (ME-10), Abu Dhabi. OK, I’ll try to recall the names – Left-most table, from left: Half-hidden face; Anil Ramachandran (CAD); Mahafil (Admin, Document Controller, Arabic translator and organizer of events); Shihab (I think) (Safety). Front table, from left: Premaraj (Stores); Rasi (Supervisor); Kutty (CAD); Somebody I completely forgot. Back table: Strangers who’re not part of our group
The good thing about the ADAC Project is that the team there has a habit of organizing gatherings and outings! (A skill which I absolutely suck at, unfortunately). Also unfortunately, the ADAC Project is still officially incomplete (we haven’t frigggin got the Taking-Over Certificate yet) even though we had finished everything and completely demobilized team, office & everything, in 2018! Double unfortunately, I am the friggin Project Manager.
(By the way, ADAC means Abu Dhabi Airport Company. It’s the name of our Client. We built the roads and bridges i.e. the Departure and Arrival ramps to the new Midfield Terminal Complex which was under construction. Correction, is under construction, still).
OK, nuff said. Here’s a look back at the gatherings of the ADAC Team. Enjoy!

An outing to a farm! Chicken coops, turkey coops, etc, at a farm in Al Rahba, Abu Dhabi – Here’s (from right) Ahmed Elkadi (Site Engineer), Tang Zhao and Rahul Sasi (QS). Here’s a link to a photo of our lunch at the farm

Finally, here’s a function where our Company brought the Mayor of the City of Kinshasa (DRC) for a visit to the Midfield Terminal Complex Project of the Abu Dhabi Airport. (Another Division of our Company was the contractor for the steel structures of the complex). In the middle, with the chequered shirt is Dong Wei, my boss at that time, VP and head of the Civil & Infrastructure Division. Beside him I think is the Mayor. The only woman in the group is the Chinese-French translator for the Mayor. Left-most seated is Fu Chunlei, Head of Tender & Cost Control Dept of our Division. Second from left standing is Zhang Yutian, Admin Manager – Nov 2017
That’s all for now folks!
