16 Omani finalists at MEED construction sector awards

Muscat: MEED has announced this year’s finalists of the only recognition scheme honouring completed projects in the Gulf region, with 16 finalists from the Sultanate.
A total of 94 projects from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are competing for honours in 16 different categories of the annual MEED Projects Awards, in association with Mashreq.
This year’s 16 Omani finalists are four more than the previous edition of the awards in categories, including Commercial Project of the Year, Culture & Heritage Project of the Year and Education Project of the Year, as well as Hotel Project of the Year, Leisure & Tourism Project of the Year, Oil & Gas Project of the Year, along with Power Project of the Year, Small Project of the Year, Transport Project of the Year and Water Project of the Year.
“Across the region, contractors, consultants and suppliers alike are expecting a better year ahead due to improved oil prices and government reforms. As headline sponsor of the MEED Projects Awards, Mashreq is very proud to support the construction sector’s key stakeholders in being recognised for quality and success in their projects. We congratulate all the finalists for delivering and contributing towards the growth and sustainability of the industry,” said Mohammad Khader Al Shouli, Senior Vice President of Mashreq Bank.
MEED’s Programme Director Becky Crayman said, “The 2018 awards programme saw a 24 per cent increase in short-listed organisations compared to the 2017 edition, a testament to the quality of completed projects being delivered across the GCC.”
After initial reviews where judges selected the finalists from hundreds of entries, the GCC winners will be announced at a gathering of the industry’s top leaders on May 2, 2018, at the Westin Mina Seyahi in Dubai.
