We are National Contracting: Superior Civil Engineers
3. History
The UAE's history of the past fifty years has never been quiet. Infrastructure building and
civil engineering projects of ever-greater size and complexity have continued to arise.
When National Contracting – or the National Contracting and Transportation Company was
first suggested in the early 1960s – this growth was only just beginning. It was clear though
to the company founders that sudden growth in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah, along with
the other Northern Emirates was imminent.
In 1965, the decision was made, and National Contracting was born in Sharjah. Immediately
the company acquired road and infrastructure projects that would set the stage for its
phenomenal later growth.
The history of National Contracting has mirrored that of the UAE: vision fuelled by a desire
to make the country the pride of the region and the envy of its competitors across the GCC.
Thanks to the vision of the founders, the wise policies of its rulers, and the careful
management of our team, National Contracting today sits rightfully at the apex of our
industry, with a record to be proud of, and the projects to prove it.
4. CEO's Message
The year 1965 was a watershed year for many reasons for the people of the UAE. Although
still on the cusp of announcing independence, the vision and desire of our nation to create a
modern state with world-leading infrastructure was already in process.
This is why we established National Contracting. It was to be a company that not only
provided the people and the country with the best solutions to our infrastructural needs,
but did so with a desire to give back further through investment in the best people and the
best ways of doing business.
We have never lost sight of this ideal. It is what continues to inspire us over fifty years later,
and I am sure, what will inspire us into the next generation of young Emiratis to whom we
hand on the baton of responsibility for our collective future.
Today, we are an industry-leading company with investments in our supply-chain; our
technology and our people that ensure that whatever construction, civil engineering,
drainage or other related project you need, you will find the best solution at National
Contracting.
Today, we take on and succeed with mega projects that would have been unthinkable a
generation ago. We look forward hopefully, trusting in our ability and in our capacity to
make greater strides forward in the future, both here in the UAE and across the wider
region, to ensure that wherever we work, we will deliver a result that pleases everyone.
We look forward to working with you.

Business Lines
Whatever your need in heavy construction, National Contracting is ready and able to supply
you with everything you need to complete your project on time and in budget.
We have a formidable record of achievement in our five key service areas, which include
roads and paving; bridges and tunnels; rail; drainage and structures.
National Contracting is a national industry leader, and so no matter what size your project
is, with our specialist teams of industry professionals, we are here to see it through from
planning to delivery.
Road Construction and Paving
Today, more than ever, there is a huge demand for new arterial and interior roads as a
growing population seeks new demands from infrastructure planning. National Contracting
has built a reputation of trust based on our key tenet of 'quality in time'. This ability to
create new roads and paving structures that pass the most strenuous tests of durability is
why we have become one of the most popular infrastructure companies in the region.
Our experience as road constructors is second-to-none as we deal constantly with the
changing demands of planning as well as our expertise in laying all types of roads and
pavements. Some of these include subgrade formations, granular and wet-mix road base,
Dense Bitumen Macadam (DBM), Asphaltic Concrete (AC), and hydraulically-pressed
concrete tiles or interlock.
National Contracting has additionally expanded into the manufacturing of asphalt and
concrete through our own plants in Al Sajaa, Sharjah. By reducing our supply chain, we are
now better than ever able to guarantee levels of product quality to which you have become
accustomed.
Our products and construction expertise are now common sights both within the Emirate of
Sharjah, and in the wider UAE, whether they are major national roads, commercial sites, or
small local road networks. Every project we have completed bears the hallmark of our
expertise with the highly-technical approach we bring, and the levels of quality and safety
we ensure are always preeminent.
National Contracting is a byword for quality.
Bridge and Tunnel Construction
In an modern urban landscape both bridges and tunnels are essential elements to any road
plan. At National Contracting we have been building the country's bridges for over two
generations.
With the advent of rail projects in the Middle East we are now advancing the range and
scope of our civil engineering feats. Using a variety of materials and methods; looking at
distance, traffic type, and the particular environmental requirements of the region, we have
been involved with the building of bridges for pedestrians, vehicles and, lately, rail - all in
some of the most exposed locations to be found anywhere on earth.
We are specialists in foundation works, steel erecting, working with pre-cast concrete, and
box girders amongst many materials and methodologies. All of this is done with specialist
crews with a long history of this kind of work for a variety of clients. We have a depth of
knowledge and experience in bridges of all kinds, including beam, suspension, arch,
cantilever and post-tension designs.
Thanks to our management team we are able to take on projects of all sizes right through to
megaproject parameters. For both bridging and tunnel work, National Contracting are the
last word.
Rail Construction
National Contracting has always been part of the growth that characterises the UAE's
advance towards the future. As part of this drive, the UAE has committed to developing a
freight and passenger rail network for the country and the wider region. The first phase of
this is currently undergoing construction.
National Contracting, thanks to its background is taking an active part in this growth, both
where and across the Gulf through participation in this rail expansion. In partnership with
Kuedo Rail Construction of South Korea, National Contracting is utilising its supply chain to
help in the design and development of the GCC rail network.
The experience we have gained in a variety of projects connected to light rail, tram and
metro superstructure building and maintenance allows us to assist new clients with related
future projects. We are able to assist in track design, reinforced concrete plant assistance,
part manufacturing, and the production, laying and maintenance of the rail superstructure.
National Contracting is helping to lay the foundations of tomorrow's rail services, today.
Drainage
Even in a country with desert conditions such as the UAE, there is a need for world-class
drainage systems. Due to irregular yearly precipitation and the formation of wadis in the
winter months, there is a real need for effective drainage, especially when connected to the
road system.
For fifty years, National Contracting has been at the forefront of drainage technology and
implementation, covering the UAE's main highways and local roads.
With a massive team of specialists, National Contracting has the assets and the reach to be
able to deal with any or all elements of a fully-effective drainage system, no matter where it
is located.
National Contracting has been responsible for some of the largest and most technically
demanding if these across the UAE and beyond. We can easily and effectively deal with
issues that relate to storm water drains and drainage, effluent lines, pumping stations and
rising mains.
Whatever your drainage need, National Contracting can help you.
Structures
Although National Contracting is renowned for its heavy civil horizontal contacting, we have
also been responsible for the construction and maintenance of large numbers of residential,
commercial and educational buildings across the country.
With a reputation for providing only the best in both products and in-the-field services,
National Contracting decided many years ago that an expansion of our building department
was the natural extension of our civil engineering prowess.
Today, National Contracting is one of the region's leaders in building both low and high-rise
and commercial developments including offices and factories, low and high-rise residential
complexes of all kinds, as well as public buildings such as stadiums and sport complexes.
AT National Contracting, our teams of specialist engineers and developers have created
systems that allow for speedy design and construction, and a delivery process that is always
on-time and in-budget.
National Contracting is building the future in every direction.

National Contracting Projects
Unlike iconic buildings such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi,
even the largest civil engineering feats are camouflaged by the environment in which they
are found.
National Contracting is responsible for the creation of the major works, although they are
unlikely to be seen except for those who know enough or care enough to look.
These projects are unsurpassed in their execution and their importance, and are gathered
here for you to see what great things often go unnoticed.
Featured Project: R449 - Al Khezammia and Talaa
Roads and Drainage
The Client
Sharjah Municipality is an integrated body within the Government of Sharjah that serves
everyone living in the Emirate of Sharjah in the UAE. The AED260m contract was for
construction of the new Al Khezammia and Talaa roads.
The Problem
With Sharjah's continuing growth, the need to modernise the Emirate's travel infrastructure
is a continually evolving process. This project is one small part of that enormous process.
This project required the construction of 35kms of new roads, and a solution that would be
able to satisfy Sharjah Government's exacting quality standards. The project was time
sensitive: with traffic projections indicating any delays in the project could cause
unnecessary delay and inconvenience to motorists, and affect Sharjah's future plans
detrimentally.
The Solution
Working closely with Halcrow between 2007 and 2009, National Contracting devised a plan
which drew on the expertise of their engineering and planning professionals to build to the
specified level of quality within the allotted timeframe. National Contracting created 35kms
of new, single-carriageway roads and pavements along with all the parking amenities
specified. Given high-levels of winter season rain, National Contracting built surface water
and sewerage drainage that is easily able to deal with these seasonal changes, as well as the
irrigation and water-supply networks that Sharjah Municipality operates to green urban
areas and keep residents with a constant supply of potable water. In addition, National
Contracting ensured all existing and new generation Etisalat and Sharjah Electricity and Gas'
ducting and cabling were in place and easily accessible for future requirements.
The Benefits
Sharjah's new roads are now able to handle a significantly higher traffic volume, and with
surfaces and underground amenities that meet all current and foreseeable future
requirements.
The Client's Response
Sharjah Municipality were delighted with the results, and that all quality requirements had
at least been matched, while still completing the project in the allotted timescale.
Other Projects
R471 – Maliha Roads
National Contracting‘s successful bid for Sharjah Municipality's AED404m Maliha roads
contract was successfully completed between 2008 and 20XX, with Halcrow International
acting as chief consultant.
The main road in question was the King Abdul-Aziz Road - a dual three-lane free-flow
arterial highway which runs through Sharjah city centre extending from Layyah to the Kalba
Road. This project was divided in five packages, of which this section is number two.
Section number two required the construction of three grade-separated interchanges.
These comprised a bridge over Greenbelt Road at junction 16B with a signal junction; a new
grade-separated cloverleaf interchange at Junction 15B with Wasit Road, and with adjacent
slip and service roads; a bridge over Third Industrial Road at junction 55A. The road itself
required 4.3 kilometres of dual-carriageway with service roads and parking on both sides.
Working within a congested urban locale, National Contracting was required to take major
traffic-management measures, employ some relocation and protection of existing services,
and lay new major and minor services.
Work was completed on time and to the satisfaction of Sharjah Government, with the
project finally being handed over in 20XX.
R71 – Improvement of the Fifth Industrial Intersection,
Sharjah (Emirates Road), Phase One
National Contracting’s won the Ministry of Public Works' contract, valued at AED65m, and
successfully completed the project between 2010 and 2011, with Parsons Overseas Limited
acting as chief consultant.
Part of the Ministry's Emirates Road (Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road) improvement
programme, phase 1 required the widening of the carriageway from three to six lanes in
each direction, and with additional slip and service roads.
The scope also included improvements to Fourth Industrial Square, including the creation of
a four-way signalled intersection, and the relocation, protection, and provision of all water
lines along with other utility services including gas and electricity and lines.
The project was completed on time and was approved by the ministry with handover taking
place on schedule in 2011.
R249B – Al Mudeaifi Internal Roads, Khorfakkan,
Sharjah
National Contracting’s won the Sharjah Government contract for this internal roads project,
valued at in excess of AED 139m and successfully completed the project between 2010 and
2012, with XXXX acting as chief consultant.
This road project was part of Sharjah Government's improvement schedule for roads in the
outlying parts of Sharjah Emirate. The creation of the new roads included construction and
surface laying as well as the relocation, protection, and provision of utility lines for water,
gas and electricity for all the neighbouring residential area.
The road-construction process also required the setting of new paving for pedestrians and
parking and walking areas for the whole area.
The project was completed on time and was handed over to Sharjah Government following
their approval, on schedule in 2012.
Infrastructure Development of Block E1 (Plot 970,
Muweilah Commercial Area)
National Contracting’s won Tatweer Real Estate's contract for E1 block development project
for the Muweilah Commercial Area in Sharjah city, and which valued at AED 41m. The whole
project was successfully completed between 2011 and 2012 with Khatib and Alami acting as
chief consultant.
This project was for the creation of a plot for commercial building for the Tatweer Group.
The scope required the development of the local infrastructure using earthworks. All utility
pipe work for water, gas and electricity were laid and the access and internal road system
built in tandem.
Full Etisalat functionality was also installed, as well as storm water drains up to the
formation level so the plot would be ready for the construction of the planned commercial
property on the site.
The project was completed on time and was handed over to Tatweer Real Estate following
their approval, on schedule in 2012.
R479 - Wasit Road Improvement
National Contracting’s won Sharjah Municipality’s contract for the R479 Wasit Road
Improvement project in Sharjah city, and which valued at AED 140m. The whole project was
successfully completed between 2008 and 2010 with Halcrow International acting as chief
consultant.
This Project required the widening of Wasit Road from its former two-lane dual-carriageway
to a three-lane format, in addition to the associated slip and service roads. The section
focused on was the stretch between the Halwan Interchange with Dhaid Road, and the
Wasit Power Station interchange with the Sharjah Ring Road (Now Emirates Road).
As part of the project, Roundabout 50 was replaced with a grade-separated interchange
that had a two-span dual two-lane flyover. The flyover was constructed using a posttensioned reinforced concrete box girder method, and the approaches took advantage of a
proprietary reinforced earth-retaining wall-system.
A section of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi Road was realigned on the approaches
to the bridge adjacent to the associated slip roads. In addition to this, a service road with
attached parking and a new roundabout was built between Roundabout 50 and Roundabout
58.
The project was completed on time and was handed over to Sharjah Municipality following
their approval, on schedule in 2010.
