VINCI wins contract to build an underground car park and landscaped gardens in the centre of Doha

QDVC, the Qatari subsidiary of Qatari Diar (51 %) and VINCI Construction Grands Projets (49 %), has won the contract to design and build an underground car park and the landscaped gardens fronting the Doha Sheraton Hotel.

The contract, worth a total of €264 million, covers the design and construction of a two-level car park with around 2,000 spaces for Sheraton Hotel guests and the general public (financial and diplomatic district of West Bay). The car park will be fitted, with an electronic system to guide drivers to vacant spaces that will be a first in Qatar.

The works also include the construction of a maintenance and storage facility and a control room for the future Doha light rail transit system, an electrical sub-station 66 kV, two of 11 kV and a 73,000 m² landscaped park in front of the Sheraton Hotel (fountains, basins, kids playground areas, coffee shops and restaurants). Also included in the project is the construction of a cut-and-cover tunnel under Corniche Road that will connect the car park and the future Doha convention centre, currently under construction.

The work will last 34 months.
