Contractors have been invited to express their interest in the contract to build Abu Dhabi International Airport’s Midfield Terminal Building.
The Midfield Terminal Building is a cornerstone of the US $6.8 billion redevelopment of the airport. It will house the operations of Etihad, the UAE’s national airline, and will be built to handle 20m passengers each year.
Pre-conditions for expressions of interest include annual turnover of US $5 bn and ‘successful completion’ of five similar projects in the last ten years, two of which must be worth more than US $1 bn. Many suggest this will be the biggest contract of the year.
Bidders must also be familiar with international green building codes and be able to comply with the forthcoming ‘Estidama’ – so-called ‘green’ building guidelines.
