Project Portfolio - Dubai International Airport

Dubai has become a significant business and logistics hub in the Middle East and is increasingly an attractive holiday destination. This brings millions of visitors to and through the Emirate. Dubai International Airport is more than an important landmark in Dubai; it provides guests and travellers in transit a world class welcome and a taste of what Dubai has to offer.

Murray & Roberts has been established in the Middle East for 15 years and is a major contributor to growth in the region, having participated in the construction of some of the region’s most prestigious projects such as Burj Al Arab and the ongoing expansion of Dubai International Airport.

The contract for the fit-out, finishes and MEP of Terminal 3, Concourse 2 and the Car Park was awarded in December 2004 to Murray & Roberts and local partner Al Habtoor Engineering, together with Takenaka of Japan. More than 20 000 workers were on site during peak construction, creating a significant logistic and safety challenge to the project team.
