MUSCAT -- Construction major Galfar Engineering & Contracting SAOGGalfar Engineering & Contracting SAOGLoading... has been awarded the prestigious contract for carrying out civil works related to the construction of the 9 MTPA pelletising plant being constructed in Sohar by Vale.

The contract, valued at RO18.5 million, was signed by Sergio Leite, managing director, Vale; and Dr Hans Erlings, GalfarGalfarLoading... CEO, at Crowne Plaza Hotel yesterday.

Vale is a pioneering global mining company, with headquarters in Brazil, converting minerals into essential end products for use in daily life. Sixty years into its existence, Vale employs over 100,000 people worldwide with one mission, and that is to transform mineral resources into prosperity and sustainable development.

Capabilities of GalfarGalfarLoading... extend into all the sectors of the construction industry namely the oil & gas, the roads & bridges and the civil & utilities.

In the oil & gas sector, GalfarGalfarLoading... is one of the country's leading contractors with Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), Oman's oil major for design, civil, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation works.

GalfarGalfarLoading... is currently executing major EPC contracts as a contractor in the oil & gas sector. The roads and bridges unit is presently executing some of the largest projects in the Gulf region.

The company is presently engaged in the construction of the Hasik-Shuwaimiya Road in the Dhofar region as well as the Expressway Project in Muscat.

In the civil and utilities sector, GalfarGalfarLoading... is constructing a major part of the Duqm Dry Dock Project. It is also executing some major power transmission line projects along with construction of primary sub-stations and building electromechanical and HVAC projects.

"With several projects both in the government and the private sectors waiting to be awarded, GalfarGalfarLoading... will continue to keep up its reputation as a partner in the development of Oman," says Dr Hans Erlings.

All operations of GalfarGalfarLoading... are ISO certified.

Customer satisfaction is always in the forefront of our operations.
