Published Updated

Target Engineering Construction Co would start work on the project from March 1 and construction was expected to last 33 months, Arabtec said in a statement released on the Dubai bourse.

The contract awarded by Italy's Saipem SPA includes construction of 12 substation buildings and equipment shelters with a total area of 20,000 square metres.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has awarded Occidental Petroleum its giant $10 billion Shah Gas project, after US energy major ConocoPhillips pulled out of the project last year.
