DUBAI - Abu Dhabi-based Dutch Foundation Co. has bagged the piling and foundation contract from Saba Group for Saba Twin Towers.
Behrouz Javaheri, chairman, Saba Group said: "We have chosen Dutch Foundation Co because of the company's quality track record in piling and foundation work in the UAE as well as across the GCC. We wanted best-of-the-breed partnerships to lead the Saba Twin Tower development to ensure that the project will stand above other similar developments.The Dutch Foundation was chosen after a round of strict evaluation and assessment in which many pile foundation majors short listed earlier were scrutinised for their quality, experience and capability in executing mega projects like the Saba Tower development.
Saba Twin Towers offers a compelling rationale to investors who are keen to own property in Dubai. Being close to landmark developments such as The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone, adds tremendous value to the project. Located between Interchanges 5 and 6 on the Sheikh Zayed Road, Saba Twin Towers at the Jumeirah Lake Towers community, will be spread over an area of 800,000 square feet, including a retail component of 31,000 square feet, added Javaheri.
Salim Khoury, general manager, Dutch Foundation Co. said: "We consider it an honour to be part of the pioneering Saba Twin Tower development. Over the last 15 years, thanks to our immense and sound experience in foundation engineering and soil mechanics, we have built a good reputation executing 800 projects in the UAE alone. He said the company deploys the most modern equipment and technology and cited the use of latest high-tech rig machines, which have been used for big and prestigious projects like Interchange IP-69 in Abu Dhabi, giant LNG tanks in Raslaffan among others. The company came into being in 1989 and has now branches in Dubai, Qatar, Sharjah and Sultanate of Oman."BY A STAFF REPORTER
