Dubai-based Drake & Scull International (DSI) has signed a contract worth about AED110m ($30m) to execute mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works for the redevelopment of Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.

The contract was awarded by the local Khansaheb Civil Engineering, which is the main contractor for the project.

Under the terms of the agreement, DSI will procure, install, test and commission all MEP works at the shopping mall, to be completed by 2015. The mall recently announced its multi-stage redevelopment project at an estimated cost of AED1bn under the theme ‘Evolution 2015’.

The redevelopment, which will include a new fashion district, luxury retail, and sports and leisure precinct, alongside an expansion of its cinemas, will be undertaken in phases with work on phase 1 already under way. 

In 2013, DSI won contracts to execute the MEP works for the Fairmont Abu Dhabi Hotel and Serviced Apartments, the MEP for the King Fahad Medical City in Riyadh and a real estate development in the western city of Jeddah, both in Saudi Arabia.
