(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the leading international design, consulting,
engineering and management services company, today announced that Ashghal,
Qatar's public works authority (PWA), has appointed a joint venture between
ARCADIS subsidiary EC Harris and Mace to deliver a major program social
infrastructure building projects across the country. The contract is worth a
total of QR415million (£72million), and will last for five years, with the
option to extend by a further two years.
Due to the population and economic growth in the State of Qatar, and the
realization of the Qatar National Vision 2030, there is a significant increase
in the requirement for public and government buildings and facilities in the
country.
The joint venture team of EC Harris and Mace has been appointed as Program
Management Consultant (PMC) to undertake the program management of Building
Projects in association and coordination with the PWA and their appointed
consultants and contractors.
The joint venture will undertake all the program management activities required
for planning, procurement, and management of the design, supervision, and
construction contracts for a wide range of project types throughout Qatar,
including Educational Facilities; Healthcare Facilities; Ports and Waterfront
Development; Public Tourism Facilities; Public Sports and Assembly Facilities;
Parks and Recreational Facilities.
Importantly, they will establish and deliver a comprehensive suite of fully
integrated and functioning plans, systems, processes and procedures to enable
delivery of the program, and to provide a consistent and best practice approach
to managing projects.
Keith Brooks, Head of Property & Social Infrastructure at EC Harris said: "We
are delighted to have been selected by Ashghal to deliver this large-scale
program of works. This represents a further example of how an integrated
approach in partnership with a government organization, enables a faster and
more sustainable delivery of ambitious Nation Building strategies."
Mark Reynolds, deputy CEO, Mace, said: "This appointment is a unique opportunity
to facilitate the development of the public works landscape across Qatar and we
are thrilled to be part of the delivery team. The size and scope of the
infrastructure project will provide the opportunity to demonstrate how
collaboration and partnership can produce a scheme of innovation that places the
country's society at the heart of the project."
EC Harris and Mace have a long history of working in partnership on a number of
prestigious projects across the Middle East including Doha Festival City in
Qatar, numerous retail and hospitality projects in the UAE and major residential
developments in Dubai.
