The Boring Company (TBC) has awarded Parsons Corporation a contract to provide professional services in support of the Dubai Loop project. The project is an underground transportation initiative being developed in Dubai, UAE.
According to Parsons, the 9-month contract represents new work and as per the terms of the agreement, the company will act as TBC’s delegated program manager, supporting design-build activities for the project. As part of this agreement, Parsons will provide integrated services, directly supporting TBC with Independent Design Verification, Stakeholder Management, Permitting and NOC Support for the Dubai Loop pilot phase. Parsons will also conduct multidisciplinary reviews of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, safety, and utility designs.
“Parsons has proudly played a central role in developing some of the most important and prestigious critical infrastructure programs across the UAE since our first programs there in the 1980s,” said Pierre Santoni, President, Infrastructure EMEA at Parsons.
He added, “From roads, bridges, and tunnels, to airports, railways, and urban developments, our team has delivered superior quality, integrity and innovation on every single project from day one. Our agreement with TBC reflects the directives of the UAE’s leadership to strengthen strategic partnerships with leading global innovators and accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies to support the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Parsons will ensure all designs are technically robust, fully compliant with local regulations, and efficiently progressed to support safe, reliable, and integrated mobility across the emirate.”
In partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transit Authority (RTA), TBC has been tasked with delivering the Dubai Loop, a multi-phased passenger transport tunnel project comprised of multiple tunnels and stations aimed at expanding Dubai’s transport ecosystem and offering an additional mode of transport to residents in, and visitors to, the city, said the statement.
Parsons confirmed it already works extensively with the RTA, having supported the organisation with key transportation infrastructure projects in the emirate since its inception in 2005. These include projects such as the Dubai Metro Red and Green Line, the Dubai Metro Route 2020 expansion, the Dubai Intelligent Traffic Systems Center, the Infinity Bridge, and more than 100 highway, bridge and tunnel projects across the emirate.
Jim Fitzgerald, Global Vice President of Business Development at The Boring Company commented, ”We are excited to collaborate with Parsons on the Dubai Loop project as we bring next-generation underground transportation solutions to Dubai.”
He continued, “The Dubai Loop is designed to redefine urban mobility through fast, efficient, and scalable underground transport. By partnering with Parsons, we combine innovative tunneling technology with strong regional expertise and a proven track record in major infrastructure delivery. This collaboration will help accelerate progress, ensure effective stakeholder alignment, and bring this vision to life in one of the world’s most forward-thinking cities.”
Parsons said that it has planned, designed, and managed more than 250 complex tunneling projects and the company’s road and highway experience spans more than 16,000km across 6-continents.
