Work has already commenced, and the project is due for completion by September 2011.
Managing Director of the HLG, David Savage, said the award of this KPIZ project highlighted the continued strength of the Abu Dhabi construction market.
“We are delighted to have secured this important project for a quality client like ADPC,” he said.
“Abu Dhabi continues to offer strong new work prospects, particularly in large-scale infrastructure, and it is likely to be our most important market for the foreseeable future,“ he said.
KPIZ will be a multi-purpose facility located in Taweelah, Abu Dhabi and strategically placed between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The project includes the construction of a world-class container and industrial port and the development of industrial, logistics, commercial, educational and residential special economic and free trade zones.
With a number of major industrial players already committed to establishing capacity at KPIZ, the Taweelah area is set to become one of the world’s top industrial and logistics hubs.
