Company profile
Construction and project management, shipping and cargo clearance, and import and export in the Republic of Maldives.
Contents
Delivered 2005 to 2009 by Triways Maldives Pvt Ltd, under licence C-05/2003. Triways Maldives Pvt Ltd has ceased trading; the experience continues under Triways Investments.
Our purpose
Vision
To be the partner that international contractors and suppliers choose first when they build in the Maldives.
Mission
To bring materials, plant and people into the Maldives and on to the island where the work actually is, with the permits cleared, the labour in place and the landed cost controlled.
The company
Ali Mufeed ran the Maldives office of Hojgaard & Schultz, the Danish contractor, as Operations Executive. He held that post through the Fuvahmulah Harbour Project and the Addu Link Road, the first tarmac road ever laid in the country.
In 5 January 2003 he and his co-directors formed Triways Maldives Pvt Ltd under licence C-05/2003 to take that experience into their own contracts. Triways Investments, registered SP18972022, carries the work forward today.
Capability
Building in the Maldives, and getting the material and the crew to the island where the building happens, run on the same permits and the same relationships. We hold both.
Civil and marine works on resort islands: villas, jetties, decks, sea walls and the dredging that has to happen first.
Vessel agency and customs clearance in the Maldives. This is the work Wakachiku and Italian-Thai Development hired us to do on their behalf.
Bringing in what a Maldives project consumes. Aggregate, armour rock, sand, pipe and plant, landed and cleared.
Scope
Also registered for
Islands and atolls worked
Work is quoted anywhere in the archipelago.

Delivery
16,000 m³
Dredged and the beach replenished in 36 days against a 45-day programme. A sea rock measuring 50 by 30 feet, sitting in six metres of water across the channel, was removed with explosives under special permission from government ministries.
64 villas
Ten deluxe villas with private pools, 28 Jacuzzi villas and 26 standard villas, each with boundary walls, sundecks and privacy fences. Phase I finished ahead of programme, which is why the client opened Phase II immediately.
6 months
The entire island built out from 25 September 2006 to 30 March 2007: guest villas and pools, arrival jetty and ramp, kitchen, stores, power house, RO plant, mosque, spa, diving school and staff accommodation.
20 villas
Twenty existing water villas demolished and all debris cleared using excavators, barge and dump trucks, as part of the island's redevelopment.
Government infrastructure
Wakachiku Construction of Japan built the regional ports at Hithadhoo and Kulhudhuffushi for the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation, with Niras of Denmark as consultant. On both, Triways was their appointed local agent in the Maldives.

Government infrastructure

Both were delivered by Hojgaard & Schultz for the Maldivian government, with Ali Mufeed as Operations Executive in charge of the contractor’s office in the Maldives.
Ministry of Public Works
Ali Mufeed ran the Hojgaard & Schultz Maldives office as Operations Executive through this project, before founding his own company.

Further principals represented
The proposition
That is the job Wakachiku, Italian-Thai Development and Hojgaard & Schultz each hired Triways to do. A local agent who already holds the relationships, knows the paperwork, and is standing on the quay when the vessel arrives.
Inward and outward vessel clearance, bunkering permits, and every piece of government shipping documentation.
Project cargo imported and re-exported, then carried by arranged vessel right up to the site.
Quota from the Labour Ministry, recruitment, work permits and visas for the whole crew.
Materials, provisions and equipment rentals bought in-country, on your behalf.

Marine works
At Coco Palm Boduhithi Resort, K. Atoll, the harbour was cut and the beach rebuilt for Sunland Hotels Pvt Ltd over August to September 2005. 16,000 m³ was dredged and placed in 36 days against a 45-day programme. A sea rock measuring 50 by 30 feet, sitting in six metres of water across the channel, was removed with explosives under special permission from government ministries.
Portfolio
A private residence at Dhadimagu, Gn. Fuvahmulah, on Fuvahmulah at the far south of the country, built March 2006 to August 2007 with materials supplied by the client. Cast-concrete joinery worked to look like timber, a sculpted internal water garden with its own footbridge and waterfall, and hand-painted relief murals through the verandas: the one purely decorative job on the record.
