Abu Dhabi Ports Company Appoints ARCADIS and EC Harris to Key
Port Framework
25 April 2012
ARCADIS, the international design,
consulting, engineering and management services company, today
announced that together with its subsidiary EC Harris, it has won a
three-year framework contract with Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC)
to provide business planning, master planning, design, engineering,
program management and training services. Financial details were
not disclosed.
EC Harris has an existing working relation with client ADPC for
whom it has been providing project control services for the newly
built Khalifa Port & Industrial Zone project. The collaboration
with ARCADIS made it possible to offer an even broader scope of
services, which resulted in the winning of this framework
contract.
The three-year Framework contract calls for a very broad scope
of services, including, amongst others; port planning and
engineering, financial and economic modeling, traffic forecasting
and tariff setting, training and logistic services, risk
management, navigation and pilotage, port legislation, rules and
regulation and port management services.
ADPC is a master developer, owner and operator of Ports and
Industrial Zones. The objective of the organization is to act as an
enabler for development and trade and contribute to the
diversification of the UAE national economy. ADPC is developing all
the ports in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (excluding oil, gas and
military).
“This contract exemplifies the joint strength of ARCADIS and
EC Harris in the Middle East and is but one example of the many
synergy opportunities between the two firms. Given the potential in
the region and our growing presence, I foresee more of these
opportunities in the near future”, said Tim Risbridger, Head
of Transportation in the Middle East at EC Harris.
