Big Project Awards 2012: MEP Contractor of the Year – Emirates Trading Agency
MEP contractor wins award for work on projects across the UAE
While it’s easy to be fixated on what a building looks like from the outside, this award recognises those that make sure the heart of a building is always beating.
Emirates Trading Agency beat off some stiff competition to win, but has proven itself again and again on a series of contracts in the UAE. ETA has been an integral part of the growth and development of UAE and is continuing to contribute its construction expertise to major landmark developments.
ETA is expanding to other countries in the MENA region and India with AED2bn worth of projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Qatar including the King Abdullah Financial District, the Hilton Hotel in Riyadh, the Downtown Doha Msheireb Development.
AK Agarwal, senior executive director at ETA accepted the MEP Contractor of the Year award: “Basically, it feels good to have somebody appreciate what we’ve done. We can proudly say that we started from small beginnings 34 years back and today we’re the biggest over here. We’ve done the electro-mechanical work for a number properties, including this one here (Burj Khalifa), or the Metro or most of the airport. So we’re proud of it.”
