Two IBBC members have formed a partnership that will see new opportunities and advancements in their work in Iraq. Engineering management firm Mott MacDonald has entered into an enterprise framework agreement with Shell, it was announced in November 2016. The deal will see Mott MacDonald provide design, engineering and management services for the oil company’s non-hydrocarbon projects. Its work will span a broad range of sectors – including transport, energy, buildings and environment – and through 18 primary operation centres.

Keith Howells, Chairman of Mott MacDonald Group, said in a statement on the company’s website: “This is a fantastic opportunity to bring together our experts from around the world to support Shell’s business.

“Our progressive use of building information modelling, geographical spread and global design centres showcase our capabilities to deliver world-class, innovative and cost-effective solutions.”

IBBC congratulates both organisations on this partnership.
