BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 3. The Almaty Superski
project has transitioned into its practical implementation stage
following a series of strategic engineering and procurement
approvals finalized by the Board of Directors of Kazakh Tourism
Development Ltd, Trend reports via the Kazakh government.
The roadmap was reviewed during a board meeting chaired by Prime
Minister of Kazakhstan Oljas Bektenov, where Chief Executive
Officer Yerzhan Yerkinbayev presented the operational readiness
report for the Almaty mountain cluster development.
The approved construction plan establishes direct partnerships
with specialized global firms to manage distinct components of the
alpine resort. Following an open international tender monitored by
independent consultants PGI, Hill International, and DCSA, French
engineering firm POMA has been designated to construct 11 modern
cable car networks. The installation framework will feature
high-capacity 3S-gondolas, 10-seater gondola lifts, and chairlifts
engineered to international environmental and safety standards.
To execute the architectural design established by Foster +
Partners, the board approved a technical agreement with Canadian
mass timber specialist StructureCraft to design and manufacture the
resort's complex wooden structures. Additionally, US-based project
management firm Hill International has been retained to consolidate
construction oversight, control the development timeline, and
synchronize inter-corporate logistics. According to the
government-sanctioned construction schedule, initial on-site
ground-breaking works have commenced, positioning the Almaty
Superski resort for a scheduled commissioning in December 2028.
