MACE, in the ealry years, had been working in Dubai and Abu Dhabi under the name of MIDFA – MACE. With strong leadership from William Haddad, his attention to detail to deliver an assurance of expertise and quality in our construction works, we were amongst the first companies in the region to achieve the ISO 9001: 2000 accreditation. Since then we have secured further accreditation including ISO 14001: 2004 (Environmental Management Systems) and BSi 18001: 2007 OHSAS (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems). As demand for qualified contractors increased throughout the recently formed United Arab Emirates, MACE expanded its business operations, playing a significant role in the development of critical infrastructure in the major cities of the in Abu Dhabi and the UAE. MACE developed a strong reputation in sewage systems and waste water treatment works together with the plant operation and maintenance.
