British construction company expands in ME
18 March 2013Maidenhead-headquartered company, Costain, is increasing its activities in the Arabian Gulf as the company expands the range of services it offers in the region, it announced yesterday. Costain has provided services to the oil and gas industries of Abu Dhabi for more than 30 years but hopes to promote its consultancy expertise.
"The market is looking good," said Tim Bowen, executive direction Middle East. "The region is cash rich as a result of its petrochemical exports and the Costain name and brand is very much associated with engineering excellence."
Herrenknecht recently announced that it has opened a full service branch in Abu Dhabi towards the end of 2012, which offers machine overhauls, field service and supply of spare parts. The company stated that the Arab market provides great future potential, with tunnel construction in the Gulf region facing dynamic times.
