BK Gulf, which is the mechanical and electrical contracting business within the Dutco Balfour Beatty Group, has been selected by Dubai Health Care City as one of the main delivery partners for the University Hospital in Dubai.
 
The project, valued at 650 million UAED, will commence on site later in the year and will complete in 2010.

The Building Division of Dutco Balfour Beatty has secured the contract to construct a new Novotel Hotel complex in the Al Barsha district of Dubai. This project, for a private developer, is valued at 840 million UAED. The project comprises three individual towers of 35 storeys constructed on a common nine-storey basement and podium section.

The project is scheduled to complete by the end of 2010.

Balfour Beatty chief executive, Ian Tyler, said: "These contract wins further demonstrate the strength of our business in the UAE. Balfour Beatty has been an established player in Dubai for more than 30 years. In that time, we have earned a strong reputation for the timely delivery of complex major projects such as these. We anticipate further awards in the near future that will support our continuing growth in the Middle East region."
