Muscat: An extension of contract to provide consulting engineering services for the Muscat International Airport and Salalah Airport was given to Hill International -- the global leader in managing construction risk.
This is an extension of the three-year, OMR41.8 million contract to provide consulting engineering services for Muscat International Airport and Salalah Airport awarded to Hill in 2012, said a press release. The one-year extension has an estimated value to Hill of approximately OMR30.1 million.
The extension was given by the Ministry of Transport and Communications and the Public Authority for Civil Aviation of the Sultanate of Oman. The expansion of Muscat International Airport, the largest airport in Oman, includes a new terminal that will have a capacity of 12 million passengers annually.
The expansion of Salalah Airport, the second largest airport in Oman, involved upgrading it from primarily a domestic airport to make it more suitable for international travellers. The airport was officially opened on Wednesday.
"It is an honour to continue to serve the ministry to help deliver these critical aviation projects," said Mohammed Al Rais, regional president (Middle East) for Hill's Project Management Group. "Upon completion, they will have an immediate positive impact on both business and tourism in the region," added Al Rais.
Hill International, with 4,800 employees in 100 offices worldwide, provides programme management, project management, construction management, construction claims and other consulting services primarily to the buildings, transportation, environmental, energy and industrial markets.
'Engineering News-Record' magazine recently ranked Hill as the seventh largest construction management firm in the United States.
