Publish Date : 24-Aug-2015
During a presentation led by the firm's procurement and architecture departments, Qatar Rail displayed architectural opportunities available in Doha Metro station works. "Architectural Works for Doha Metro Phase One" was held for shedding light on Qatar Rail's procurement strategy, the packages and prequalification process, and the projects including the interior fit-out for the stations, the structure for the elevated stations as well as the landscaping plans.
Senior director for achitecture and MEP at Qatar Rail, Mohamed Timbely, briefed those present on the Doha Metro's architectural works materials and finishes, on Qatar Rail's architectural branding guidelines as well as on the status and prospects for materials and FF&E (Furniture, fixtures, and equipment). Phase I of the project's architectural works, spanning 37 stations, would be completed by 2018 while the second, extending to 60 stations, is due by 2030.
Timbley said, "As is reflected in the developments that our partners and suppliers were presented with today, our procurement and architectural strategies are very much aligned with the vision we had set out for the Doha Metro project: to build an integrated network that serves the Qatari community and pays heed to its heritage and culture, all the while meeting and exceeding word-class standards of quality assurance."
