Traffic Tech (Gulf) has been named sub-contractor of the year at the GCC edition of the Construction Week Awards 2014 held in Dubai recently.

Traffic Tech emerged the winner among other shortlisted companies from Qatar and other GCC countries.

“The judges said that Traffic Tech’s submission was “particularly impressive” and that it managed to stand out as an organisation with a proven track record of delivery,” according to a statement.

Husam Musharbash, president and CEO of Traffic Tech Group, received the award from Simon Moon, CEO at Atkins.

“We have been in business for 28 years and we have won a lot of awards, but this is one of the most important ones for us. We have been doing a lot of fast-track projects and the project that I think won us the award is the Doha Corniche traffic signals project that we did in a very short period of time and that was very challenging to us,” he said.

The Construction Week Awards are an annual series of events that recognise and reward the best the GCC construction industry has to offer. Other winners this year include ALEC – Contractor of the Year; WSP – Consultant of the Year; AECOM – Commercial Project of the Year; and Qatar Foundation and ASTAD Project Management – Sustainability Initiative of the Year.
