Building up world’s iconic landmarks, Eversendai is pride of Malaysia, says Nanta

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 17): Many may not know that a Malaysian construction company, Eversendai Corp Bhd, is one of the main contributors to the construction of several iconic landmarks in the world including Burj Khalifa (Dubai), Al Shams Sky Tower (Abu Dhabi) and KLCC (Petronas) Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 Tower.
The achievement was shared by Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi through a post on his Facebook after visiting Eversendai’s largest steel fabrication factory located in Hamriyah Free Zone Establishment, Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) recently.
Nanta, who was on an official working visit to Dubai, said Eversendai is the only Malaysian construction company to create a world record and an important milestone in the construction industry for the iconic landmark project “One Za’abeel” in Dubai in 2020.
“During this visit, I was given a briefing regarding the operation of the factory, manufacturing, steel fabrication and the design of the building structure carried out at the factory. I was informed that BIM [Building information modelling] technology is used in the implementation of the project, especially in the preparation stage of the project design, especially the steel structure,” he said in the message.
He said Eversendai has a workforce of 15,000 staff and more than 300 projects have been completed in more than 14 countries with five steel fabrication plants located in Malaysia, Dubai, Sharjah, Qatar and India with an annual capacity of 150,000 tonnes.
“This state-of-the-art steel fabrication plant has built some of the world’s most iconic landmark structures such as Burj Khalifa and Menara Merdeka 118,” he said.
According to Nanta, Tan Sri Datuk AK Nathan as the executive chairman, group managing director and founder of the company, in a statement described Eversendai as the pride of the country “to fly the Jalur Gemilang as high as possible” by being part of the world record for the longest cantilever building (the One Za’abeel) in the world.
