QDVC to create an underground car park and landscaped gardens in Doha

7 October 2010 - New contracts - Qatar

QDVC, the Qatari subsidiary of Qatari Diar (51%) and VINCI Construction Grands Projets (49%), has just secured a contract to design and build an underground car park and landscaped gardens in front of the Sheraton Hotel in Doha, in the West Bay financial and diplomatic neighbourhood.

Worth a total of 264 million euros, this contract calls for the design and construction of a car park providing some 2,000 spaces, for the use of both Sheraton guests and the general public.

Taking 34 months to complete, the works will include the creation of a maintenance depot and a control room for the future Doha light rail system, as well as three electricity substations, and the landscaping of a 73,000 sq. metre area (fountains, lakes, play areas, restaurants…). And, finally, they will also involve building a cut-and-cover tunnel linking the car park to Doha’s future convention centre, currently under construction.
