The 7.7 magnitude quake struck the Baluchistan province of northwestern Pakistan. Amidst the destruction, a new island was created offshore in the Paddi Zirr (West Bay) near Gwadar, Pakistan.

MEP 1st Fix - All Concealed Items/Pipe Sleeves in Verticals/Horizontals (Column/Slab) 2. MEP 2nd Fix - Stage 1: High Level MEP Works at False Ceiling i) Fixing supports, installation of Firefighting, Chilled Water piping, drainage pipes, water supply(hot & cold), rain water, cable ladders, G.I Conduiting, AC ducting ii) Pressure tests and insulations iii) Installation of FCUs, water heaters (Note: False Ceiling people will fix runners after the Stage 1 of MEP 2nd Fix) 3. MEP 2nd Fix - Stage 2: Clearance for False Ceiling People i) Sprinkler droppers, AC duct droppers, flexible cable for light fixtures, fire stopping and identification works etc. (Note: False Ceiling people will close ceiling tiles and MEP people will connect their diffusers in position on the ceiling tiles - too much coordination is required at ...
