L&T-led consortium bags Oman airport order

Mumbai: A consortium of India’s largest engineering company Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and non-resident Keralite (NRK) businessman P Mohamed Al-led Galfar Engineering & Contracting has bagged the design and development order for the New Salalah International Airport in the Sultanate of Oman for $764 million (Rs 3,452 crore).
L&T is the leader of the consortium and its scope of works will be approximately $500 million (Rs 2,200 crore). L&T’s scope of works involves the complete design, including airside and landside works, and construction of the 660,000 sq ft passenger terminal building, the air traffic control tower, ancillary buildings including MEP Systems and airport-wide system networks. These are scheduled to be completed in 30 months.
Upon completion, the airport will have a capacity to handle two million passengers per annum, said a press release.
The bid by the L&T and Galfar consortium was better than that of local players J&P and a joint venture of Alsim Alarko and NCC, said sources.
