SECOND SUCCESS FOR THE GROUP AFTER THE AWARDING OF THE AL KHOR SPORT COMPLEX

July 9, 2015 - Salini Impregilo wins a contract for the construction of primary urban infrastructures in Shamal, a residential area with great expansion possibilities that is situated at approximately 100 km from the capital, Doha, in the extreme northern area of Qatar. The Project is worth €300 million. It is part of the “Framework Contract for Local Roads and Drainage Programme (LR&DP)”. Salini Impregilo, part of the consortium created with Bin Omran of Qatar, won over the three competitor consortiums from the Gulf area, Asia and the United States.

The works, which have to be completed within a 30 month time span, have been awarded to Salini Impregilo by the Public Works Authority of Ashghal, the entity founded in 2004 and responsible for the design, implementation and management of public infrastructures in Qatar. Salini Impregilo won a contract for the implementation of Package 01, which covers approximately 25% of the area to be developed, and which also includes the roads and infrastructures of the Al-Zubara district in the western area, the northern area of the central district of Abu Al-Dholouf and the southern area of Al-Shamal, but also the planning and design of the microtunneling and of the water system for irrigating the green areas. The entire area for residential development measures 1,043 hectares and is connected to Doha through the "North Road".

The day after the awarding of the contract worth €770 million for the realisation of the Al Khor sport complex, where the Fifa 2022 World Cup will be played, Salini Impregilo obtains another success in Qatar, an extremely dynamic area in terms of infrastructural development and where it is already active in the construction of the Red Line North metro and the Abu Hamour water system.  

The Group, present in 50 Countries worldwide, reasserts, once more, its great commercial strength in terms of the acquisition of new contracts. Salini Impregilo, with this new contract in Qatar, consolidates its key role for the realization of infrastructures in many emerging markets and in the Middle East, considering their medium to long period economic growth.
