ByrneLooby have worked on the most complex of marine projects including the Al Naseem Development in Bahrain, the Mardumah Seawall in Saudi Arabia as well as the Miraya and Island marinas at the prestigious Amaala coastal development (Saudi Arabia). We always place clients, innovation and investing in our people at the heart of our engineering services provision and Christian will be key in raising awareness of our extensive capabilities in the Middle East.”
Christian Seifart said: “I had an incredible experience at Abu Dhabi Ports. It provided me with a great sense of achievement to work with the teams to reclaim 3.5sqkm of new terminal area and 7km of quay wall at Khalifa port. At ByrneLooby, the people, client-focus and their focus on technical excellence create huge growth potential, and I look forward to bringing that added value to clients and projects.”
