ECG has been commissioned by GNPOC to deliver its project management services to the GNPOC New Head Office Building in Sudan. To undertake scheme execution, the leading international oil producer has acquired a 10,000 sq m plot in Sudan's prominent business hub, Al-Mogran Central Business District.

The 17-storey tower is an ovoid curvilinear steel structure encased with dramatic glass elevations. An additional top three floors are devoted to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. Effectively integrated with its surrounding environment through landscaping, paving, visitor parking, and vehicular right of way features, the high-rise tower entertains a fully automated building management system. Moreover, as night falls across the Sudanese landscape, a unique jewel-shaped structure atop the tower building lights up to highlight the landmark edifice and attest to the Sudanese nation's strong drive towards sustained development.

Comprising three distinct facades, the New Head Office Building captures spectacular panoramic views of the three Niles: the Blue Nile, the White Nile, and the point where those merge to form the Nile River. Encircling the tower structure, a two-floor curved recreational building and its underlying basement entails a comprehensive bouquet of staff recreational facilities including a multi-purpose auditorium/theatre, a gymnasium, a health club, a nursery, and a restaurant. The building is linked to the tower via an elevated bridge. Other key project facilities comprise an underground parking with a 200-car capacity.
