MILANO (ITALPRESS) – “Relations between Italy and the United Arab Emirates stand as an example of international cooperation when it comes to innovation and sustainability”, said Webuild CEO Pietro Salini during his participation in the “Business with Lubna” TV programme, on Sky News Arabia. He went on to say that for the Webuild Group it is a privilege to contribute to strengthening this bond, with tangible ongoing results that for 50 years have seen the Group at the side of many local clients, supporting the infrastructural development and collective wellbeing of the Country.
“The United Arab Emirates are a largely developing reality that keeps investing intensively in the infrastructure sector, driven by an economic diversification strategy, and the need of supporting demographic and tourism growth. The Webuild Group, as of today, has significant commercial prospects in the area, especially when it comes to energy, metro and railway, water treatment and desalination plant projects, but also with regard to iconic buildings, hospitals and airports”.
“The Webuild Group, in the United Arab Emirates, has built approximately 30 projects in various different sectors, also thanks to its long-standing premium engineering, which has seen the Group for 120 years already as a reference player in the infrastructure sector, on a global level” Salini recalled. “For example, we built the Abu Dhabi Great Mosque, among the world’s largest, and capable of welcoming up to 40,000 believers; but also, the Jebel Ali M desalination plant, among the world’s most iconic in its industrial sector, capable of providing water to the city of Dubai, with over 636,000 cubic metres of water delivered daily”, concluded Salini.
Webuild has a consolidated presence in the water sector in the entire Middle Eastern area, where it works with its subsidiary Fisia Italimpianti, a global leader in water treatment and desalination, which through its plants supplies water to over 20 million people globally.
The entire Middle Eastern area represents a scenario of great strategic interest for Webuild. It is in fact an area where the Group is building some of the world’s most challenging infrastructural projects, just like the futuristic NEOM project in Saudi Arabia. Here, it has already built iconic works like the Kingdom Centre in Riyadh, which has been awarded the Emporis Skyscraper Award 2022 as the world’s best designed skyscraper; and the Orange Line (Line 3) of Riyadh’s Metro, the longest of the new innovative metro network of the Saudi capital. In Qatar, it has built the Al-Bayt Stadium, in Al Khor, shaped as a typical Arab tent, which hosted the FIFA World Cup 2022 matches.
