A Hill International-led consortium has scored a contract extension to continue providing project management services for the Green Line of the new Doha Metro transit system.
Hill is an 80% partner in the joint venture with ASTAD Engineering Consultancy and Project Management Company.
The thirty-month extension with Qatar Railways Company has an estimated value of approximately QAR 157mn ($43.1mn), Hill said in a statement.
The Green Line runs east from Al Mansoura to Al Riffa in the west passing through Education City as well as Hamad Hospital, Al Shaqab and the upcoming Qatar National Library.
The line will include 11 stations over approximately 22 kilometers (14 miles) and is expected to accommodate 140,000 passenger trips per day by 2021.
