7 Gulf Times Thursday, March 12, QATAR Metro deal award by year-end By Bonnie James Deputy News Editor T he contract for the Doha Metro Network could be awarded by the end of this year, ConstructionWeekonline.com has reported quoting a consultant working on the project. Plans currently under consideration of the Qatar government form one cluster of a wider consolidated national railway network. The wider network is designed to integrate five railway systems planned across Qatar into a comprehensive and consolidated national railway system. It was prepared by DB International, the international wing of German railway company Deutsche Bahn, and Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company, according to Construction Week. Last August it was announced that the two firms had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop the conceptual design. Qatar s Urban Planning and Development Authority is overseeing the work. The plans include Doha Metro as one cluster, DB International spokesperson Bernd Weiler told Construction Week. There are further clusters involving other forms of rail traffic including a line to Bahrain and a line south to Saudi Arabia. Weiler confirmed that a presentation had been made last month to the Qatar government. When asked by Construction Week how the government had received the plan, he said: I have read reports which are friendly but neutral. According to Doha s application to host the 2016 Olympic Games, phase one of the metro involves five sections, originally scheduled for a 2015 completion date. But Qatar was eliminated from the running for the Olympics last June, making the 2015 completion unnec- essary and unlikely. PTV Doha manager Steve Cole, who is also involved in the wider masterplan, told Construction Week that the construction timetable, including the contract type, would not be agreed on until the second half of this year. The kind of metro they are looking at is mostly underground, which takes time, Cole added. The first section, running 30km from the underconstruction Lusail megaproject to the New Doha International Airport, was valued at $1.65bn (QR6bn) in the Olympic application. The four further sections, originally set to break ground between 2010 and 2012, run a total of 55km and were valued collectively at $3bn.

8 Time between stations on GCC rail network DOHA: Places like Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Muscat, among other key Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) cities, are to be linked to Doha through an inter-regional rail network. Details available suggest that once trains begin plying on GCC routes after the railway projects are completed, one could travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) capital of Abu Dhabi, for example, in three hours and six minutes and to Dubai in three hours and 26 minutes. Similarly, the train to Muscat, the Omani capital, would take six hours and 19 minutes from Doha. And from the New Doha International Airport, the travel distance to Bahrain would be 1 hour and 21 minutes. The following table shows travel time to destinations within Qatar (through local rail network) and in the GCC after the rail projects are completed.
