Al Shafar General Contracting Company (ASGC), a well-known and award-winning UAE construction group, was the recipient of the Roads and Transport Authority's Best Mega Construction Projects Contractor Award. Mohammed Obaid Al Mulla, Board Member of the RTA's Board of Directors presented the award to Abdul Aziz Mohamed Bin Shafar, Vice President and Executive Director of ASGC. "Al Shafar is key player in the UAE's drive to develop the urban infrastructure required to sustain a diversified nation and as a business, we want to continue delivering large-scale, complex projects that demonstrate our strengths and capabilities," Abdul Aziz Bin Shafar said. In 2015, ASGC was awarded an USD163 million contract from the RTA to build the Etihad (Union) Museum in Dubai, the national cultural center inaugurated last December. The Museum is designed in the shape of a manuscript with seven columns that simulate the pens used to sign the declaration of the union in 1971. In addition to undertaking large-scale construction projects, the company offers a number of related construction products and services, including mechanical electrical and plumbing services, steel structure, ready-mix concrete and pre-cast products, as well as interior fit-outs through a number of subsidiaries. For the past 28 years, the company has worked on more than 280 projects and has developed a deep understanding of the local construction market with a reputation for consistently delivering high-quality projects.
