Al-Naboodah wins terminal 3
The local Al-Naboodah Contracting has been awarded the estimated AED 2,000 million ($545 million) civil engineering works for the third terminal and concourse project at Dubai International Airport (DIA).
The works involve the construction of concrete structures, reinforcement and waterproofing. The contract is a precursor to the selection of a contractor for the main construction package, which is expected to be awarded before the end of 2007.
The client, Dubai's Department of Civil Aviation, has refused to comment on reports that the contract will be awarded to the joint venture of the local Al-Habtoor Engineering Enterprises, South Africa's Murray & Roberts Contractors Middle East, and Japan's Takenaka Corporation.
The three companies are already working together on the package for concourse 2. Concourse 3 will be an extension of concourses 1 and 2. It will be connected to two public levels of terminal 3, via an automated people mover, and a tunnel for service vehicles and baggage handling.
A people mover will also link the lower levels of concourses 2 and 3. The building's footprint is 90 metres wide and 645 metres long, with a total built-up area of 528,000 square metres.
A joint venture of Germany's Bauer and the local Middle East Foundations is working on the piling package. Al-Naboodah carried out the enabling works package, while Jebel Ali-based Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Middle East was awarded the structural steel frame package in 2005 (MEED 17:8:07).
