The multi-billion dollar Doha Metro Project will be presented to French investors early November by a Qatari delegation comprising representatives of QRail, QDB, Qatar Chamber and the Economic Zones Company, besides the contractors involved in the project.
“Phase 1 of the metro project, which consists of some 37 stations and three lines extending 105 km for a $27.5bn (€20bn budget), does have great many needs in a wide variety of sectors,” said a statement. “In addition to the full range of infrastructures and the management of the various related services and construction work, everything relating to rolling stock, operations and the buildings too all have precisely defined requirements. This project brings together more than 100 opportunities within the framework of the railway urban infrastructure projects managed by QRail,” it added.
A presentation will be made by the four consortiums selected to implement it, namely ISG; QDVC-GS E&C – ADE; PORR-SBG-HBK; and Samsung-OHL-QBC. “What the Qatari delegation seeks is to foster commercial and industrial partnerships between Qatar and SMEs in countries that enjoy a mature urban transport sector and industry. France is certainly in a position to meet this requirement,” said the statement.
