Engineering Contracting Company (ECC), a leading contracting company in the region, has been awarded a multi-storey car-park project in Dubai, in joint venture with McLaren Construction.

The car park, offering 2,800 parking spaces, is coming up opposite the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) in Dubai, UAE.

Construction of the strategically located car parking structure, which commenced in March 2017, is expected to take 12 months to complete and will cover a built-up area of 89,000 sq m, said a statement.

Commenting on the joint venture project, Kareem Farah, director and COO of ECC, said: “We are pleased to working with McLaren on our first multi-storey carpark project, adding to the long list of diverse projects we have undertaken across our 42 year history in the UAE. Innovatively designed by Parsons Architecture, this project is centrally located in Dubai, providing millions of visitors from around the world easy access to renowned events, conferences and exhibitions.”

Farah added: “Visitors to DWTC and surrounding venues can soon expect improved access and reduced congestion, especially around high profile events, as the new project contributes to the ongoing development of infrastructure in the area.”

Taking advantage of its unique location, the five-storey project will include two helicopter pads offering VIP access, in addition to hosting multiple large scale external LED advertising screens.

ECC has more than 7,000 highly qualified team members and an extensive supply chain, which allows it to deliver projects on time and fulfils the expectation of the employer, authorities and other stakeholders. - TradeArabia News Service
