Mace said it will create a project management office (PMO) to “enable the smooth implementation of PMO functions and digital systems to support the client’s transformational and digital project goals and vision.”
Financials for the agreement were not available.
“The partnership aims to further enhance the capital works team’s PMO capability and enable the team to establish best in class integrated project controls, digital services and NEC [new engineering contract] contracting,” said Mace.
Davendra Dabasia, CEO for Mace Consult, said the announcement follows preliminary consulting work done by the group.
“Our work with MTR started with strategic consultancy and has grown to enable Mace to work hand-in-hand with our client,” said Dabasia.
MTR is currently broadcasting six major railway projects and extensions: the Northern Link Project, Hung Shui Kiu Station, Tuen Mun South Extension, Tung Chung Line Extension, Oyster Bay Station and Airport Railway Extended Overrun Tunnel. The scope of projects is estimated to cost more than US$19 billion.
