Amec seeks help in Iraq water works
13 April 2012
ENGINEERING giant Amec is signing up at least two more British companies to the Iraq reconstruction effort as it prepares to send in more staff and kick-start the drive to revive the country's water industry.
Amec has already brought consultants Mott McDonald on board as it begins work on two multi-million-dollar contracts to bring Iraq's water and waste industry up to scratch following years of under-investment.
The group won the $1.1bn (£564m) contract in tandem with US partner Fluor Group but wants to be seen to be passing some of the benefits back through the UK supply chain. Weir Group is also likely to be hired.
