2019 Construction & Engineering Awards

2019 Construction & Engineering Awards BUILD 13 Company: EDECS ElDawlia For Engineering & Contracting Contact: Ayman El Badawy Website: www.edecs.com As such, the firm is ahead of its competitors and able to offer clients an integrated service that will meet all of their needs and exceed any expectations, however high they may be. With multiple offices across Egypt and now a base in Saudi Arabia, EDECS has the regional reach to offer clients the benefit of its expertise wherever they may be based. When awarding EDECS in this year’s Construction & Engineering Awards, the judges were particularly impressed by the firm’s work on the construction of a 680m Berth at Damietta Port. Damietta Port comes at the forefront of the Egyptian ports, as it was only recently developed by the Egyptian Ministry of Transport considering its distinguished location. The port is about 23 nautical miles from the northern entrance of the Suez Canal, which is a major advantage for all the vessels crossing the Suez Canal. Damietta Port, also, entertains huge potentials qualifying it to become the primer Egyptian commercial port. One of its many advantages is the applied integrated auto- mated system that serves the national economy. The Port is owned by the Egyptian Ministry of Transportation and is managed by the Damietta Port Authority which is tasked to execute a well-defined strategy which includes, among others, increasing the capacity of the port by adding more berthing lengths and deepening the basin into 17 m. This new berth, created by EDECS, adds 630 m of quay wall of multipurpose berthing and handling with 17 m depth of berthing. The success of this innovative project showcases EDECS’s dedication to driving Egypt’s marine construction market forward and helping clients throughout the country to create spaces that will help their businesses to achieve success. Working to build on its incredible success in the market since its inception in Egypt, EDECS has now set its sights on international expansion. The firm is extending its operations to Saudi Arabia as an investment company specializing in marine works with plans to further extend our operations to other Middle East and Gulf states. In preparation for this global expansion, EDECS has been prequalified with major clients, professional bodies, and international contractors operating in the region and is fully registered and licensed to work on large-scale projects. It hopes to establish itself in the same way it has achieved leadership in the Egyptian market; through hard work, commitment and a constant focus on client satisfaction. Ultimately, EDECS’s vision is to be the region’s leading construction company in marine, infrastructure, and civil works by delivering value to its valued clients. This will drive the company as it seeks to improve its already enviable reputation for excellence and work on more unique and challenging projects around the world throughout 2019 and further into the future.
