Doha Metro System - Red Line North Underground
The first underground metro system of Qatar
The “Red Line North Underground” extends in a northerly direction from the station of Mushaireb, for a length of approximately 13 km through 7 new underground stations. The overall route develops entirely in an urban environment and crosses the Financial District of Doha West Bay.
The project involved the excavation of two parallel tunnels, one in each direction, approximately 11.6 km long with an internal diameter of approximately 6.17 m lined with reinforced fiber prefabricated segments. To build it, 4 EPB (Earth Pressure Balance Type) TBMs were used to excavate the tunnels.
The “Red Line North Underground”, together with a further 3 metro lines, forms part of the project to build the new infrastructural mobility system promoted by Qatar under the scope of the National Development Plan for 2030 (the “Qatar National Vision 2030”).
Awards:
The project won Qatar Sustainability Awards 2017 and in 2018 won the RoSPA Silver Award for its strong health and safety performance in 2017, qualifying as one of the projects with the best practices in its sector.
