At approximately 8.20 pm on September 30, the project manager and the facility manager at the al rayyana development informed the management of Sorouh Real Estate that a portion of a courtyard had collapsed into an underground car park below. The affected area measured approximately 1,400 sqm and was located in one of five similar courtyards at the development.
Sorouh is pleased to report that no one was injured in the incident and all residents have been accounted for al rayyanna’s property management team informed Abu Dhabi Civil Defense immediately. Members of Sorouh’s management team were on site by 8.30pm and officers from Abu Dhabi Civil Defense arrived before 9pm. The affected area was cordoned off and residents were evacuated to the entrance of the development, where they were informed that they would be moved to nearby hotels by bus during the course of the evening.
The facility management team conducted a roll call of residents by telephone and in person, and ensured that gas, electricity and water were disconnected to apartment blocks in the affected zone.
Sorouh will work closely with Abu Dhabi Civil Defense to investigate the incident.
Sorouh believes that the rest of the al rayyana development is unaffected. However, the company is determined to ensure the highest standards of safety at the development, and will commission an independent structural assessment and act on any recommendations.
Sorouh’s management regrets the inconvenience caused to all affected residents of al rayyana and is committed to providing for their accommodation needs. We would like to thank the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence and the Abu Dhabi Police for their rapid response, and residents of al rayyana for their calmness and cooperation during the evacuation.
