Mott MacDonald, a leading engineering, management and development consultancy, said it has won a major contract from Bahrain's Ministry of Housing to supervise the construction of infrastructure works on the Al Madina Al Shamaliya (Northern Town) Islands 10, 11 and 12.
 
The scope of the works includes site grading, highways, stormwater drainage, electrical, potable water, sewage and irrigation networks, telecommunication ducting and roadside landscaping, said a statement from the company.

Two vehicular bridges connecting Islands 9 and 10 will also be built, as well as one vehicular bridge and one pedestrian bridge connecting Islands 11 and 12, it added.

On the contract win, Simon Crossdale, the project manager, said this commission builds on Mott MacDonald's existing excellent relationship with the Ministry of Housing.

"We also have teams established and working on other major projects in the country, including the Bahrain Affordable Housing public-private partnership project at Al Luwzi and Al Madina Al Shamaliya Islands 13 and 14 (East) and the Al Madina Al Shamaliya Island 14 (West) housing packages supervision," he noted.

The company will supervise the infrastructure and utilities contractor, as well as the bridges contractor, during both the construction and defects liability periods, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
