ARCADIS wins design work for new Doha metro system
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
June 23, 2015 - ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the world's leading natural and built
asset design & consultancy firm, today announced that it has been appointed to
provide architectural, branding, design and construction consultancy services
for the Gold Line metro line in the city of Doha in Qatar. The appointment
follows an earlier involvement on comparable activities on the Red Line South
metro line, also in Doha. For the Gold Line project ARCADIS will work on behalf
of the contractor, ALYSJ JV, a joint venture of several international and local
construction and engineering firms. The value of the project to ARCADIS is
almost ?20 million. The ultimate client for the project is the Qatar Rail
Company.
The Gold Line is one of four lines under development in the first phase of
Doha's 354km metro network and is by far the largest single construction package
on the Doha Metro, crossing Doha from east to west. This ?3.2bn contract
includes 32km of bored tunnel along with 13 new underground stations fitted out
with high-end architectural finishes and state of the art MEP systems
(mechanical, electrical, and plumbing), as well as services buildings, tunnels
and entrances, in addition to landscaping, traffic and utilities works.
ARCADIS' involvement in the project, which started this month, covers the
detailed design and coordination of architectural finishes for 10 of the 13 new
underground stations as well as associated MEP, structural and landscape design,
plus construction support and consultancy services. The remaining 3 stations on
the Gold Line have been priced separately and may be assigned to ARCADIS later.
The design phase is expected to take 12 months and construction support an
additional 24 months.
Stephan Ritter, Executive Board member of ARCADIS responsible for the activities
in the U.K., Continental Europe and the Middle East, commented "This is a great
example of synergy between legacy Hyder and ARCADIS capabilities and strong
collaboration between the newly formed ARCADIS Qatar team and ARCADIS
Netherlands to bring the best of our global capabilities in rail transportation
to serve Qatar Rail. This award is also a tribute to the team already working on
a similar package on Red Line South metro in Doha, as their excellent work has
encouraged the ultimate client, Qatar Rail Company, to have confidence in
recommending a further package of work to ARCADIS."
