QATAR METRO – GREENLINE U/G AND EAG
Doha Metro in Qatar’s capital city will be one of the most advanced rail transit systems in the world when Phase I becomes operational by the end of 2019.
The emirate had originally planned the metro in 2007, in a bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Doha. Though the International Olympic Committee chose Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Doha still proceeded with the project in preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, for which it won the bid in 2010.
With road travel being an extensive mode of transport, Qatar has a well-developed road network with a highway system and expressways. The public transport that does exist is mainly provided by Mowasalat, a state-owned integrated ground transportation company.
The project’s D&B contract for the Green line underground project has been given to a JV led by PORR, Saudi Bin Laden Group and Hamad Bin Khalid Contracting (PSH JV).
Horizons IPM Responsibilities:
Horizon International worked on the Greenline projects for the As-Built BIM Documentation scope for LOD500 of ASMEP services and 2D documentation for the As-Built Drawings.
