Who is Abas Alsamahi?
Abas Alsamahi is the owner and director of Samahi Group (Zoom Portables Pty Ltd) and of SG Equipment Hire and Sales Pty Ltd. At Samahi Group he runs container dome shelter and modified container jobs across WA, and he writes the guides on this site.
His work sits where the questions buyers ask most come together: what size dome a site needs, which wind region it falls in, what the certificate actually covers, and what it takes to get the dome, the containers and the crew onto site in one mobilisation.
What does Abas do on a Samahi Group job?
Abas runs each Samahi Group job end to end, so the person who scopes it is the person who answers for the install. You have one contact from the first phone call to handover.
| Stage | What Abas does |
|---|---|
| Request a quote | Gets back to you within 1 to 2 business days, and on a large scope asks the questions needed to build the quote |
| Scope of works | Sets the dome span, length and height, the container type, count and fit-out, and any groundwork |
| Site and wind region check | Confirms the wind region for the site, and for Region C and D sites recommends site-specific engineering before pricing |
| Proposal | Sends one written quote for supply, transport and installation, priced for purchase, lease and rent-to-own |
| Delivery and installation | Runs the mobilisation: containers on precast footings, dome erected, extras completed |
| Handover | Hands over the wind region certificate where one applies, any site-specific engineering, a walk-through and an ongoing contact |
How does Abas's crew build a dome arch?
Samahi Group crews don't assemble an arch on the ground and lift it into place. They attach the first arch piece to the container, then carry each piece up in the bed of the scissor lift and bolt it in, one after the other, until the arch is complete.
A worker in the lift raises each piece into position and bolts it in before the next one goes up. The arch is built where it will stand, piece by piece, rather than lifted as one large assembly.
Where has Abas's team installed dome shelters?
Abas's team has completed work at the Australian Marine Complex in Henderson, across greater Perth, in the Goldfields, at an exploration site near Cue, and south of Perth at Greenbushes and Boddington. Samahi Group works anywhere in Western Australia, with interstate jobs on request.
On the Cue job in August 2026, the team installed a high-cube crib room, a high-cube ablution block and a 40ft high-cube office with a 12 m x 12 m dome spanning between them, in 5 days. The frame was certified to Wind Region C. Samahi Group's crews are experienced with mine-site inductions, and the business carries $20 million public liability and $20 million product liability insurance.
What does Abas write about?
Abas writes about container dome shelters for the people who buy them: site, project and procurement teams in mining, exploration, defence-industry, civil and industrial work. His guides cover dome sizing, installation, wind regions and certification, and the trade-offs between a dome shelter kit and a supplied-and-installed dome.
He writes the way Samahi Group quotes: plain numbers, clear limits, and no claims the paperwork can't back. If a generic certificate doesn't cover your specific site, he'll say so. Start with container dome shelters in Perth and WA, supplied and installed.
What else does Abas run?
Abas also owns SG Equipment Hire and Sales Pty Ltd, an equipment hire and sales business. Samahi Group is the business behind the container dome shelters and modified containers on this site.
