Scott Wilson (SW) Group is involved in some of the region's biggest engineering projects which are helping to transform the landscape and pave the way to a prosperous future.

Scott Wilson has enjoyed an established presence in the region for more than 40 years and employs more than 250 staff in its Middle Eastern offices.
"Over this period, we have developed excellent relationships with our local clients including national and local government departments, and many private developers and investors," a spokesman said.
"We operate across all of the major consultancy, planning, environmental and engineering sectors. Our involvement in the Middle East includes active participation in some of the largest infrastructure projects in the region, ranging from major ports and airports including large master planning, land reclamation and development projects through to major building programmes. Our skills encompass project management, environmental sciences, planning, design and engineering across a wide range of disciplines.
"Scott Wilson visions to be a significant contributor to the success and wealth of Middle East nations by substantially growing its presence in the region, and through training and employing increasingly large numbers of local staff.
"Our success has been built on the concept of providing as many services as possible from core teams who are established and resident in the region. This provides clients with easy 'in country' access to the key staff on which the success of projects depends. Local capacity is supplemented and strengthened through direct access to Scott Wilson professional resources around the world.
"This approach ensures the utilisation of indigenous skills to the fullest extent, and allows the volume of work performed in-country to be maximised, thereby providing the opportunity to enhance technical, administrative and managerial capacity within the region."
Scott Wilson has won numerous awards for its performance both as a firm and on individual projects, including the AIA UK Awards, The Royal Academy of Engineering , Royal Institute of British Architects Awards, RICS Awards, Institution of Civil Engineers Awards, BREEAM Offices Awards, IStructE Awards, Marche International des Professionnels d' Immobilier Awards and British Expertise Awards.
