Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) has terminated the contract inked with the joint venture comprising Samsung C&T, Obrascon Huarte Lain (OHL), and Qatar Building Company for the construction of the Msheireb and Education City stations of the Doha Metro project.
Instead, Qatar Rail appointed a new contractor for the project, Consolidated Contractors (CCC).
“Work will continue on the major stations project sites as planned and discussions are underway with the subcontractors to ensure continuity,” Qatar Rail stated. The company did not give any reason for the contract termination.
Qatar Rail recently announced that the project’s tunneling activity was around 90 percent complete. The USD 1.4 billion design-and-build contract for the Msheireb and Education City stations was first announced in June 2013 and is part of the USD 36 billion Doha Metro project.
