Dubai-based Habtoor Leighton Group, a joint venture between Leighton Holdings Ltd. (LEI.AU) and Al Habtoor Group, said Sunday it has been awarded a sub-contract for the construction of infrastructure in Southern Iraq and is part of an engineering, procurement and construction project to deliver a central production facility.
HLG’s initial scope of works includes the partial engineering, and construction of civil, utility, and infrastructure works, it sad in an emailed statement. No value was given for the project.
