Saipem has been awarded new E&C Onshore contracts worth approximately $1.3 billion, mainly in Middle East and North Africa.
In Abu Dhabi, Saipem, as the leader of the Joint-Venture including Dodsal Engineering and Construction Pte. Limited and Maire Tecnimont, has been awarded by Etihad Rail Company a contract for the engineering and construction of a railway tract linking the natural gas production fields of Shah and Habshan, located in the internal part of the Country, to the Port of Ruwais.

The activities will be completed by the end of 2014.
