Hill International Selected as Project Manager for Major Irrigation Program in Al Ain

  
    
  
  
    
      Hill International (Nasdaq:HINT), the worldwide construction consulting 
      firm, announced today that it has been awarded a new contract by the Al 
      Ain Municipality to provide project management services on the AED 600 
      million ($163 million) implementation of an Irrigation Master Plan for 
      Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. The five-year contract has an estimated 
      value to Hill of approximately AED 23.5 million ($6.4 million).
    
    
      The new irrigation networks will serve the municipality’s 
      and the surrounding region’s proposed 
      reservoirs until the year 2020. The current pumping and irrigation zones 
      are to be re-grouped in such a way that Al Ain will be divided into 
      eighteen zones, and the region outside the city will have eleven zones. 
      Each of these zones will be equipped with a reservoir which can store at 
      least a day’s supply of water, a pumping 
      station and a central irrigation control system. With the construction 
      of 21 new reservoirs, the Al Ain region will have a total of 30 main 
      reservoirs and pumping stations. The remaining small pumping system and 
      irrigation tanks will be demolished as the project progresses, but the 
      supply of water will continue from alternative sources. Construction is 
      expected to begin in January 2009 and conclude by January 2013.
    
    
      “This irrigation program is a critical 
      improvement to Al Ain’s water infrastructure,” 
      said Raouf S. Ghali, President of Hill’s 
      Project Management Group (International). “We 
      look forward to helping our client complete this important program,” 
      Ghali added.
