Contractor wins deal for Saudi utility's HQ.

Azmeel Contracting KSA has won a contract to build the headquarters building of Power and Water Utility Company for Jubail and Yanbu (Marafiq) in Jubail Industrial City.

The deal was signed by Marafiq's President & CEO Abdullah K. Al-Buainain and Ahmed Al-Jabr, Azmeel President and CEO.

Work on the 18,000m² project has been scheduled to start by the end of 2014 and is expected to complete within 24 months.

The building, designed by MTMM Engineering Consultancy, will comprise a main building with an annexed services block to accommodate the company offices, as well as a customer service centre.

Marafiq has chosen the location of the head office complex in order to be close to its residential and industrial customers in the city.

On signing the contract, Al-Buainain told Arab News: 'The new office will provide us a single location with a better working environment for all our employees, rather than the multiple sites currently spread out all over the city.'
