Qatar Rail has awarded four contracts to design and build railway lines worth $8.2 billion in the first phase of construction for the Doha Metro, a newspaper reported on June 06. "These four D&B contracts for the first phase of Qatar's ambitious metro rail include Red Line North, Red Line South, Green Line and Major Stations," said the Peninsula, an English-language daily.
One of the contracts for the construction of the two most emblematic stations of the metro was won by a consortium led by South Korea's Samsung C&T. The three remaining contracts went to other consortia led by Italy's Impregilo Group, Austria's Porr Bau GmbH, and French-Qatari company QDVC, said the newspaper. It gave no breakdown on the value of each contract. It plans a $40 billion national integrated rail network together with a new $11 billion airport and a $5.5 billion deep water seaport.
