Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction received an award from Middle East business media group MEED for successfully completing a thermoelectric power plant in Saudi Arabia’s Rabigh, the company announced Thursday.

Doosan Heavy said it was involved in the whole process from design and equipment production to installation and trial run of the thermoelectric power plant, about 160 kilometers north of Saudi Arabia’s Jeaddah.

“The company got credit for contributing to the regional economy by purchasing equipment from local companies and actively hiring local employees for the project,” said Kim Heon-tak, Doosan Heavy’s engineering, procurement and construction division chief.
