The company is currently manufacturing construction material specialties and the existing facility is having a safe and secured storage of chemicals.

In line with the rising demand for construction materials from industrial and infrastructure sector within  Qatar,  CIKO-ME is currently  planning  to  expand  its  existing  construction chemical manufacturing facility.The factory is expected to increase production capacity by increasing the operating hours with existing machinery and equipment at the site. No additional equipment or machinery are being proposed. The current project site has excellent chemical storage area and inventory management capabilities.

The CIKO management had retained the services of Qatar Design Consortium (QDC) to carry out the baseline environmental study and prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study report.  

In order to relate the existing environment with the proposed project activity, it was imperative to carry out detail evaluation of the baseline environmental characteristics including: Ambient air Quality, Noise Level, Soil Quality, Groundwater quality, and Odour.  Applicable regulatory requirements were reviewed and compiled before commencing a structured and detailed baseline studies and a refined modelling analysis has been conducted using AERMOD.
