NG Bailey lands first Middle East contract

NG Bailey has won its first contract in the Middle East, providing consultancy services on a mystery airport 100 miles off the coast of Abu Dhabi.

The development will include an airport terminal, air traffic control building and runway fire service station and will be built by UAE-based contractor Al Naboodah.

NG Bailey refused to disclose the exact location of the scheme - other than that it will be built on a “remote island” in the Persian Gulf - or the scheme’s ultimate client.

The firm said it will use BIM on the airport project. NG Bailey specialises in mechanical and electrical, IT and facilities management contracting and consulting.

Chief executive David Hurcomb said the win was part of its strategy to diversify away from its traditional core business of UK M&E contracting.

Hurcomb said: “As the UK construction market remains challenging, we have been seeking out new opportunities in line with our strategic growth plan.”

Separately NG Bailey has won a two-year facilities management contract at Land Securities’ newly-opened Trinity Leeds shopping centre in Leeds.

The firm will provide mechanical, electrical and building fabric maintenance services at the one million ft² complex.
