Doha: A joint venture between Al-Futtaim Engineering's Qatar operations under the name Hamad and Mohamad Al-Futtaim and Voltas Qatar has been awarded a multi-million Qatari Riyal Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) contract within the giant Doha Festival City development.
The contract, worth over QR 500 million will see the joint venture undertake MEP works for the main mall. The project is expected to be completed by 2016.
Dawood Ozair, Senior Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Engineering and Technologies believes Al-Futtaim Engineering's history of successfully delivering projects has led to the company being recognised as a preferred main contractor in the region.

This is another big milestone for our business and another opportunity to deliver our high quality services to customers in Qatar."

Under the umbrella of MEP maintenance the company has many prestigious projects including Qatar National Convention Centre, Hyatt Plaza Shopping Mall, Landmark Group's showrooms, and Al Fardan Properties amongst others.
Located on Al-Shamal Road, Doha Festival City is the largest mixed-use development currently under construction in the Middle East, and on completion will be Qatar's largest retail and leisure destination. It will feature the Doha Festival City Mall, as well as a hotel and convention centre.
