The Bahrain Foundation and Construction Company (BFCC) has been awarded the BD500,000 ($1,326,260) piling contract work at the Bahrain Financial Harbour (BFH).

BFCC won the contract amid local and international competition, said BFH chairman Esam Janahi who signed the agreement with BFCC managing director Abdul Hussein Dawani.
The piling project, which should start immediately, will be completed in 11 weeks. The contract covers the area of the Financial Mall and the Harbour House.

The Financial Mall will be the service heart of the BFH offering a range of sophisticated financial services outlets within one location. The stock exchange forms the nucleus of the Financial Mall, which will also be supported by financial services firms.

Janahi said BFH would welcome the participation of local companies that could meet international standards and offer appropriate and efficient solutions.
