Akawi: Key contract win.
A mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contract of nearly QR400mn for the upcoming Mall of Qatar in the Al Rayyan district has been won by Drake & Scull Qatar (DSI Qatar), a wholly owned subsidiary of Drake & Scull International PJSC (DSI).
UrbanCon Trading and Development are the main contractors on this commercial development. DSI Qatar will execute the installation of all incidental electromechanical works on the three-storey mall, which will feature a hypermarket, a multiplex, five department stores and at least 20 restaurants.
In addition to the car parking accommodating 7,000 cars, the mall will also have its own metro station. DSI Qatar is scheduled to start works on site in 2014 first quarter and the project is slated for completion in June 2015.
Karem Akawi, area general manager, DSI Qatar stated: “The Mall of Qatar is a very prestigious project award for DSI and will build upon the rich experience we have in Mega Retail projects. DSI Qatar’s MEP division is a market leader and is currently executing projects across District cooling, Hospitality and Residential sectors.”
Earlier this year, DSI Qatar was awarded a QR304mn contract for a mixed-use real estate development project in Doha and a second residential project worth QR180mn.
