Regulatory News :
VINCI (Paris:DG) :
The joint venture comprising lead company QDVC, a 51% Qatari
Diar, 49% VINCI Construction Grands Projets subsidiary, and Qatari
Bin Omran Trading & Contracting has been awarded the second
works phase of a new motorway (New Orbital Highway) on the
outskirts of Doha.
The €850 million contract covers the design and construction of
47 km of motorways, 6 viaducts, 17 bridges and underpasses and a
320-metre cut-and-cover tunnel. This motorway section will have a
five-lane dual carriageway for light vehicles and two truck lanes
in each direction. Work is to commence in May 2014 and take 36
months to complete.
The new highway, which is nearly 200 km long, will connect the
new port of the Qatari capital with Ras Laffan, the gas-producing
industrial city in the north of the country. The highway will
bypass Doha and relieve current traffic congestion while preparing
to accommodate projected road traffic increases.
This new success achieved by VINCI Construction Grands Projets
in Qatar reflects the local roots of its subsidiary QDVC, which has
positioned itself in seven years as a major player in the Qatari
construction market. The company is currently working on the
southern works package of the Doha metro's red line, the light rail
project in the new city of Lusail and the Sheraton underground car
park and landscaped gardens in the heart of the West Bay business
district. In 2012, QDVC handed over the country's largest pumping
station.
