THE Al Habtoor Leighton Group has been awarded a AED1.04 billion ($US285 million) by the Abu Dhabi Ports Company as part of the Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone in Abu Dhabi.
The project, known as KPIZ Industrial Zone A Infrastructure Central and South, will commence immediately and is due for completion in September 2012.
This is HLG’s second project for ADPC at KPIZ. The company is well advanced on an AED1.4 billion ($US380 million) project it was awarded by ADPC in July last year for the construction of the on-shore port facilities and including the construction of 47 buildings and associated infrastructure works.
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. KPIZ is scheduled to commence operations in 2012.
The Abu Dhabi Ports Company is a master developer and regulator of ports and industrial zones. Its purpose is to create a sustainable growth platform that spurs economic expansion and diversification for Abu Dhabi by developing world-class infrastructure, real-estate and business services in conjunction with the private sector.
ADPC has been mandated to develop all ports (with the exception of oil and gas and military ports) and related infrastructure in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
