Liwa Slaughterhouse Project

Pedestrian Overpass Bridge

In response to strong community demand and rising safety concerns, Vale completed a pedestrian overpass near Sohar Port — a high-traffic area frequently used by employees, including those from Vale. The bridge addresses the risks of crossing the main road, particularly after the removal of a connecting roundabout.

Liwa Walkway

In collaboration with Liwa Municipality, Vale developed a 1.5 km landscaped walkway complete with seating areas. The project responded to strong community demand, offering residents a safe and dedicated space for daily walks and social interaction.

3D Artificial Reefs

In partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources, Vale deployed 3D-printed artificial reefs off the coast of Liwa. The project enhances marine biodiversity and supports sustainable fishing practices, benefiting local fishermen and the coastal ecosystem.

Tatweer Youth Development Program

Launched by Vale, Tatweer is a CSR initiative designed to inspire and equip young Omanis with leadership and entrepreneurial skills. Through expert-led sessions and interactive workshops, the program supports youth in building capabilities that contribute to a knowledge-based, sustainable economy.

Vale Volunteers

Vale’s employee-led volunteer program supports a wide range of community initiatives across North Al Batinah, including school refurbishments, clean-up drives, and health campaigns. The program reflects Vale’s commitment to meaningful community engagement and active citizenship.
