Gulf-based Dar Al Handasah Company (Shair and Partners) said it has won a contract to carry out the engineering design of a towers district project in Egypt’s new administrative capital being developed in an area located 45 km east of Cairo.

 

Dar Al-Handasah is one of the world’s leading international consultancies with five design centres in Beirut (Lebanon), Cairo (Egypt), London (UK), Pune (India) and Amman (Jordan) in addition to 45 regional operation offices in 30 countries.

 

Egyptian Housing Ministry last week received an approval from the cabinet to assign Dar Al Handasah with the engineering design mandate, which will include a number of utilities works, reported Amwal Alghad.

 

The proposed new capital of Egypt is a large-scale project announced by Housing Minister Moustafa Madbouly at Egypt Economic Development Conference in 2015.
