Dubai-UAE: 10 December, 2015

KEF Chairman Faizal E Kottikollon was presented the Construction Innovation Award by the Consul General of India, Anurag Bhushan at the Indian Innovation Awards held recently in Dubai, UAE.

The Award is an acknowledgement of the vision that Kottikollon displayed in revolutionizing the construction and infrastructure industry by the use of advance technology and robotics, which will be incorporated at the upcoming KEF Modular facility in Jebel Ali- the world's first fully automated robotics driven facility for modular construction.

The Awards committee applauded this new facility as a harbinger of change in the way construction is done, which in turn will benefit other sectors such as healthcare, education and housing.
