What Mechanical And Civil Engineering Contractors Company (MACE) LLC does

Mechanical And Civil Engineering Contractors Company (MACE) LLC is a privately held construction and infrastructure services contractor founded in Libya in 1968 and now headquartered in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Operating across three countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Libya), MACE delivers five integrated service lines: Operation & Maintenance of public utilities (sewerage networks, pumping stations, treatment plants); Water, Sewage & Pipelines EPC construction; Civil Engineering (power stations, desalination plants, hospitals, deep excavations); Mechanical & Electrical services; and Oil & Gas construction and maintenance. The company operates a specialized equipment fleet of 600+ pumps capable of handling up to 4,000 liters per second and has completed 500+ km of pipework and 1,000+ km of oil & gas pipelines in its history.

MACE's revenue model combines one-time project-based EPC contracts (lump sum or cost-plus, awarded through competitive government tendering) with recurring long-term O&M contracts (multi-year, KPI-based performance agreements). The company serves primarily government utilities (ADSSC, ADDC, AADC, Abu Dhabi Municipality) and major oil & gas operators (ADNOC, Saudi Aramco, OXY, ExxonMobil/ESSO, NOC Libya), with a smaller portfolio of real estate developer engagements (TDIC, Bloom Developers). Distribution is direct via enterprise field sales and tendering; the go-to-market also includes a strategic joint venture with FCC Aqualia (AqualiaMACE) that combines MACE's local execution with Aqualia's global water management technology for integrated O&M bids.

The company is founder-controlled by Chairman William Haddad, has been continuously operating for 55+ years, and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 certifications among the first in the region. Its most recent major revenue disclosure is FY2015 revenue of $256M with an 11.2% profit margin; subsequent major contract wins in 2019 (Abu Dhabi Island and Al Ain O&M) suggest sustained operational scale, though no post-2015 financial data is publicly available.

Direct peers

• Al Naboodah Construction Group: UAE-based conglomerate with a major civil, mechanical and infrastructure contracting division active across water, sewerage, roads and MEP works; competes head-to-head with MACE for ADSSC and municipality tenders in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
• Trojan Holding: Abu Dhabi-headquartered general contractor delivering civil, MEP and infrastructure works with a strong public-sector pipeline; comparable in scale, services mix, and customer base to MACE.
• Khansaheb Civil Engineering: UAE civil and infrastructure contractor with established water, sewerage and roads capability, regularly bidding on Abu Dhabi and Dubai utility frameworks similar to those MACE serves.

Broad incumbents

• Al Jaber Group (Al Jaber Energy Services): Abu Dhabi-based conglomerate executing civil, mechanical and oil & gas EPC; competes with MACE in oil & gas pipeline work and broader infrastructure, with deeper resources and a wider service portfolio.
• Habtoor Leighton Group (now BICC/HLG): Large UAE infrastructure and civil contractor with water, sewerage and roads capability; a long-standing rival on government infrastructure tenders where MACE competes for Abu Dhabi utility packages.
• Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC): MENA-originated mega-EPC contractor operating across oil & gas pipelines, civil works and infrastructure; significant overlap with MACE on ARAMCO, ADNOC and regional pipeline tenders but at meaningfully larger scale.

Others

• FCC Aqualia: Global water-management company and MACE's JV partner in the AqualiaMACE consortium for ADSSC O&M contracts; adjacent rather than a competitor, but the closest comparable operator for the O&M-side business.
• Veolia Water Technologies (Middle East): International water and wastewater treatment operator with active tenders in Abu Dhabi and KSA; an adjacent municipal-water O&M peer relevant to the segment MACE serves via AqualiaMACE.

Regional players

• Galfar Engineering & Contracting: Oman-headquartered EPC contractor active in oil & gas pipelines, civil and water infrastructure across the GCC; mirrors MACE's oil-adjacent infrastructure model in a neighboring market.
• Tekfen Construction: Turkish EPC contractor with an oil & gas pipeline and infrastructure track record across MENA; competes for similar ARAMCO and regional pipeline tenders though based in Türkiye.
