Great Dyke Contracting has been given a key responsibility in the realisation of Mashonaland Holdings’ flagship commercial and retail development, the Pomona Commercial Centre. The company’s expertise and impressive track record of completed projects make them an ideal collaborator for this prestigious project, and we can expect nothing short of a stellar final product.
This is not the first time Mashonaland Holdings has roped in Great Dyke Contracting on a project of theirs. They handled the road surfacing on the recently completed Mashview Flats project which shows that Mashonaland Holdings is quite content with Great Dyke’s workmanship.
The scope of work Great Dyke Contracting is doing on the Pomona Commercial Centre project is quite extensive, encompassing a range of services including demolition, land clearing, road construction and water and sewer reticulation.
The groundwork for the construction project began officially in September 2023, and the first order of business was to demolish the steel structure that housed one seed and bedding company which was on site. This was followed by the removal of tarmac, pavers and drains. After that, the team levelled the surface in preparation for the next phase of construction. They have now been given the go ahead to procure pavers as that will soon start with the paving.
Great Dyke Contracting is responsible not only for the initial groundwork but also the construction of the car park, expansion of Alps Road and Harare Drive into the site and creation of offloading bays – all vital components that will shape the overall accessibility and functionality of Pomona Commercial Centre.
