Abu Dhabi: Navayuga Engineering Company (NEC), the Abu Dhabi-based infrastructure development and construction company, has completed the Khor Fakkan Port Expansion Project for Berth 6, contracted from Athena SA, as per schedule.
The complex work involved the installation of bored pile foundation with piles extending to depths of up to 25 metres in deep sea.
The successful on-schedule completion of the project marks NEC's competency in undertaking marine projects that involve deep-sea backfilling work.
With a successful track-record for on-schedule delivery of infrastructure projects in the UAE, Navayuga is on the road to attain its growth targets for the year, said Antony A. David, General Manager, NEC.
"When we commenced operations in the UAE last year, our goal was to highlight our strengths in complex infrastructure projects. The Khor Fakkan Port Expansion Project is a testament to our capabilities, and we will leverage this experience for future expansion."
David said that NEC will continue to focus on the emerging markets in the Middle East region in the coming months.
"Infrastructure development continues to be a priority for the region, and we will partner in the public and private sector initiatives to contribute to support regional projects with world-class technology and manpower support."
For the Khor Fakkan project, NEC laid 159 900-millimetre diameter bored in-site piles. The pile testing procedures was carried out in accordance with the specifications of the Institution of Civil Engineers, UK.
