UAE-based project management consultancy 3SixtyConsult announced on Tuesday that it would provide administrative and technical services to Elemka as part of a strategic framework agreement with the European firm.

Elemka belongs to Mytilineos Group of companies and has delivered civil engineering projects throughout Europe and overseas.

SixtyConsult said in a statement that the pact would facilitate feasibility and condition surveys for civil works and technical project management for infrastructure and urban development projects in the UAE, supported by 3SixtyConsult and managed by Elemka.

3SixtyConsult's Managing Director Keenan Grote said his company will provide team support to Elemka for civil and urban works in the UAE and throughout the region.

"Broadening our scope of service and geographic coverage for project work is a significant part of our growth plan and we look forward to where this strategic framework can take us,” he said.

Elemka's General Manager Anestis Chatzipanagiotidis said the company will use 3SixtyConsult’s on-the-ground administrative resources while bringing its specialised expertise to the market.

"This collaboration with the 3SixtyConsult team will enable us to ensure seamless conformance of the compliance processes and procedures in the country, as well as to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals required to carry out our work in the country," he said.

Elemka had recently completed the DUBA Port Inspection Project in Saudi Arabia.

The statement noted that said post-acquisition of Project Partners last year, 3SixtyConsult has seen its retail and commercial project portfolio grow by 83%. The firm is working on projects in Kuwait, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, including a "prominent clinic currently underway in the UAE."
