Site photography
We do not display generated imagery, and we do not display photographs of projects that are not ours. Photographs of this project will be added from the site archive once documented with date and location.
The documented record
Site photographs for this project are still being gathered from the archive. In the meantime the reference that actually settles a prequalification is the stamped completion certificate — a verifiable document, not an image — and it is available on request.

The challenge
Qurna sits at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates, and its soil differs fundamentally from that of central Basra. Foundations that work elsewhere do not work here — and a foundation design error doesn't show at handover, it shows years later.
The approach
Foundations were designed for the area's specific soil conditions, not copied from another project's foundation detail.
The reinforced concrete skeletons were executed in partnership with Chinese firms to approved engineering standards.
The architectural design followed modern educational standards, serving how the school is actually used rather than only how it looks.
The outcome
All three schools were handed over in 2023, ready for use — an investment in the future of Qurna's next generation.
