Building Dreams in the Rain
November 11, 2024
Through relentless rain and rugged landscapes, our team is working tirelessly to bring the vision of Gem Mountain Resort to life. Every step forward, from building sturdy access roads to crafting welcoming spaces, is a testament to our dedication and resilience. Join us on this journey as we transform dreams into a serene getaway, where nature’s beauty and thoughtful design come together, even in the heart of Sri Lanka’s unpredictable weather.
Progress at Gem Mountain Resort, Palawela
Our construction journey for Gem Mountain Resort in the lush hills of Palawela, Ratnapura, continues despite unexpected challenges brought by heavy rains. Adapting to the weather, our team has made the installation of a drainage system a top priority. This essential infrastructure will control rainwater, allowing us to prepare and level the main access road effectively.
Transporting materials has been a test of resilience; in the muddy terrain, our tipper trucks sometimes get stuck. However, with the help of wheel loaders and excavators, we keep operations moving forward. Road construction remains our main focus, but we’ve also completed the entrance roads to the hotel lobby and cottages, following the architect’s design. This work was done using excavators to ensure accuracy in challenging conditions.
Additionally, we’ve finished a temporary garage for vehicle maintenance, allowing us to manage breakdowns more effectively. To protect the surrounding area, we’re also taking steps to shield vegetable and fruit trees from wildlife intrusion, ensuring both natural beauty and sustainability.
Each milestone brings us closer to the vision of a peaceful retreat in Sri Lanka’s gemstone heartland, where nature and elegance meet. Stay connected for more updates on our journey to create a destination like no other.
