Lindenberg Emirates wins Transco contract

Abu Dhabi based Lindenberg Emirates announced that it has won a USD157 million water transmission contract from the Abu Dhabi Transmission and Despatch Company, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority.

The project involves water transmission from Abu Dhabi's Sas Al Nakheel Junction to Saad-iyat Island. The works are scheduled to start next month and are expected to be completed within 18 months.

Lindenberg will provide the design, engineering, supply and construction, testing and commissioning of onshore and offshore ductile iron and carbon steel pipelines complete with valves and fittings, associated instrumentation, electrical, civil and earth works.

A senior Lindenberg executive told Gulf News that "We were awarded the contract on January 20. There were several bidders. We feel Lindenberg's was the winning bid because of our competitive price and also because of the timely manner in which we executed our previous projects with Adwea.

Transco supplies water and electricity throughout the emirate.
