Kentz wins €20m UAE contract

KENTZ — the Clonmel, Co Tipperary-headquartered construction and engineering services group — has been awarded a $30 million (€22m) construction contract in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract has been awarded to Kentz’s subsidiary operating unit, UTS Kent, by Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (GASCO) and will see the Irish company replace the existing emergency shutdown system and associated field instrumentation at two of GASCO’s plants.

Kentz chief executive, Dr Hugh O’Donnell, said that the company’s board was delighted to have been awarded the new project.
