DRAKE & Scull International (DSI) has secured three separate MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) contracts worth Dh277 million ($75 million). These involve works for a top hotel in Abu Dhabi and two separate deals in Kuwait.

DSI’s Abu Dhabi subsidiary has been awarded a contract for MEP works for the Rosewood Abu Dhabi Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The contract has been awarded by Arabian Construction Company (ACC) and is valued at Dh187 million ($51 million).
DSI has won projects worth more than $100 million in the first quarter of this year.
Meanwhile, DSI for Electrical Contracting Kuwait (DSK), a prominent player in the MEP sector in Kuwait has been awarded two contracts, worth over Dh90 million ($24.5 million), within the education sector in Kuwait City, Kuwait. These contract wins are the first for DSK since being acquired by Drake & Scull International (DSI).
Khaldoun Tabari, vice chairman and CEO of DSI said: “We chose to acquire DSK since the company already has a prominent presence and is well-respected in the Kuwaiti market.”
DSI acquired 75 per cent of DSK in late December, in step with the company’s declaration since its IPO to actively pursue acquisition negotiations in Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
“DSI growth strategy is focused on strengthening our presence in Kuwait, among other markets, and with the help of DSK, we expect to establish ourselves as leaders in Kuwait’s MEP industry,” said Tabari.
