Engineering firm Larsen & Toubro has won a contract worth over $81.6 million (300 million dirhams) from Abu Dhabi Ports Company, the developer and regulator of ports and industrial zones.
According to a Gulf News report, the contract is for its flagship project at the Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone (KPIZ) in Taweelah.
Work is due to begin immediately and is scheduled for completion in May 2012.
The agreement is for the design, construction, testing and commissioning of the electrical medium voltage (MV) power supply through a 33 kV power cable network and three 33kV/11kV primary distribution substations, which will provide the main power supply for the first phase of Khalifa Port.
The contract also involves construction of civil buildings with utilities such as air conditioning, fire protection and lighting systems.
Located between Abu Dhabi and Dubai in Taweelah, KPIZ is a multi-billion dollar project that involves construction of a world-scale container and industrial port.
