BESIX Group will provide structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing works for a convention centre and tower in Doha due for completion by March 2011, OCI said in a statement on Wednesday.

BESIX, a Belgium group in which OCI has a 50 percent stake, has a $370 million share in the Doha project which will include a hotel, offices, retail and residential areas and a convention centre in a 550 metre tower, OCI said.

Orascom's chief executive said in November he saw company revenue from construction rising 50 percent in 2009 on more infrastructure projects. (Writing by Alastair Sharp, editing by Dan Lalor)
