Engineering Contracting Company (ECC), a leading civil engineering and construction company in the UAE, has registered eight per cent growth in 2016 despite the slowdown in the market.

ECC’s positive annual growth figures are largely due to its delivery, reputation and strong financial position, said the company in a satement.

The company has also grown in terms of manpower and machinery, currently employing more than 7,000 highly qualified team members, it added.

The solid results come at a time when ECC is celebrating its four decades of success in the UAE, said a top official.

"Throughout our 42-year history, we have successfully weathered both market challenges and periods of rapid development by pacing our own expansion. Our growth and current position can be credited to our strength as a company and long-standing reputation in the UAE," remarked its founder and chairman Hatem Farah.
 
Its key clients include The Ruler’s Office, Emaar Properties, Dubai Properties, Dubai Islamic Bank, Dubai Investment, Deyaar, Damac, Union Properties, Etisalat, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, Dubai Festival City, Zayed University and Roads Transportation Authority.

The group, through its sister companies; Abanos Interior Fit Out and Joinery, United Masters and Prime Metal Industries, provides all construction related services for its clients, said Farah.

One of the most diverse contracting companies in the region, ECC boasts several milestone projects including the reconstruction of the Deira Clock Tower and Hatta Village, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
