| Balfour Beatty wins three projects in the UAE UK construction giant Balfour Beatty announced that its joint venture companies in Dubai have been awarded a major civil engineering contract and two building services contracts with a total value of 1.7 billion Dhm (£240 million). Dutco Balfour Beatty has been awarded a 1 billion Dhm (£141 million) roads and bridgeworks project to construct two major interchanges as part of the Waterfront Development in Dubai. This is the latest in a series of civil engineering projects that the company has been awarded on this development by the client, Nakheel. The project, which will be completed in 24 months, forms part of the internal Waterfront road infrastructure to serve the needs of the Waterfront Development and supplement future connectivity to the Sheikh Zayed Road. In two further projects, BK Gulf, the mechanical and electrical engineering business also jointly owned by Dutco and Balfour Beatty, has secured two new contracts in the UAE. The Marina Hotel project on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi valued at 270 million Dhm (£38 million) forms part of the new development to provide a Formula 1 standard racing complex. The hotel is due for completion in 2009. A second project, the Trump International Hotel and tower project in Dubai, forms a gateway to the Jumeirah Palm. The project, valued at 430 million Dhm (£61 million), is due for completion in December 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
