Top industry honours in UAE

Voltas' overseas MEP business achieved the crowning glory of professional recognition at the highest levels, at the MEP Middle East Awards 2008.

The award is one of the most prestigious in the Middle East, and its honours are highly coveted. Voltas held its own against the most daunting competition to walk away with two key awards: for 'MEP Project Manager of the Year' and 'Health & Safety'.

Awarded to D Sampath, Director Projects, by unanimous vote of the judging panel, the 'MEP Project Manager of the Year' rewards outstanding individual talent and commitment, as seen in actual project outcomes achieved through extraordinary skills and efforts.

The 'Health and Safety' award is conferred on the organization that has made special efforts to improve health and safety standards on projects through focused initiatives, such as in training, methodology employed to reduce risk and accident at site, or manpower utilization.

Other participants included major MEP players such as ETA, Thermo, BK Gulf, Drake & Scull, Transgulf and Mapco; as well as major MEP Consultants including Atkins, Hyder and other notables.

It's yet another global trophy for Voltas...to add to the many landmark projects that bear the Company's stamp and signature.
