BK Gulf, which is the mechanical and electrical contracting business within the Dutco Balfour Beatty Group, has been awarded the contract for the supply and installation of M&E and key operational systems for the University Hospital in Dubai. BK Gulf has been selected by Dubai Health Care City as one of the main delivery partners for the hospital. The project, valued at 650 million UAED, will commence on site in the third quarter of 2008 and will complete in 2010. The Building Division of Dutco Balfour Beatty has secured the contract to construct a new Novotel Hotel complex in the Al Barsha district of Dubai. This project, for a private developer, is valued at 840 million UAED. The project comprises three individual towers of 35 storeys constructed on a common nine storey basement and podium section.
