NMDC Infra

What NMDC Infra does

NMDC Infra is a UAE-based Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor specializing in civil construction and turnkey projects, with operations anchored in Abu Dhabi. The company was incorporated in 2005 as Emarat Europe, became operational in 2006 as a precast concrete producer, was acquired by NMDC Group in 2012, and rebranded to its current name in 2018 as it expanded from precast supply into full-spectrum turnkey EPC delivery. It operates a state-of-the-art precast facility comprising two major plants and two adjacent batching plants with a daily production capacity of 1,000 m³ of precast elements and 800 m² of hollow core, manufacturing hollow core slabs, panels, columns, beams, boundary walls, stairs, and marine products such as quay walls, Xblocs, and accropodes.

The company's core service lines are organized around Precast Solutions, Marine Products, Industrial Civil, and EPC turnkey contracting, serving clients that include government entities (ADNOC, Abu Dhabi Ports, Etihad Water and Electricity, OSHAD-certified projects), state-owned enterprises, and private developers of luxury residential and hospitality properties. To date, NMDC Infra reports more than 700 completed projects spanning luxury villas, resorts, sports arenas, labor camps, schools, port facilities, and desalination infrastructure. Its revenue model is project-based, with major EPC contracts valued in the hundreds of millions to over a billion AED each — the Fujairah I Independent Water Producer seawater reverse osmosis plant, for example, was awarded at AED 1.046 billion (~$285 million) for 272,000+ m³/day of desalination capacity.

In January 2026, NMDC Infra executed a strategic pivot into water and oil & gas infrastructure through two simultaneous transactions: acquisition of a 51% controlling stake in Spain's Lantania Aguas (rebranded Lantania NMDC Water) to enter desalination and water treatment EPC with an AED 2 billion multi-country backlog, and formation of the NMDCCC joint venture with Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) to deliver onshore Oil & Gas EPC services in the UAE. These moves mark NMDC Group's first European market entry and broaden NMDC Infra's vertical mix from civil/marine construction into regulated, capital-intensive water and energy infrastructure, supported by its wholly-owned subsidiary status under the ADX-listed NMDC Group.
