Aecom’s scope includes project management, contract administration, technical and environmental support services, and site supervision over the entire design and construction phases of the project.

“We have already begun to mobilize local and global resources to bring the best of Aecom’s project management capability to this transformational project,” Hamed Zaghw, Chief Executive, Aecom Middle East & Africa, said.
