One of the world's leading engineering, architecture and environmental consulting companies, GHD, has been awarded Middle East Economic Digest's (MEED) prestigious Leisure and Tourism Project of the Year - Qatar at the MEED Quality Awards for Projects. GHD was recognised for its role as Principal Consultant for the Grand Hyatt Resort; a 250-room, 5-star resort located in Doha's prestigious West Bay.

The first of their kind in the region, the MEED Quality Awards for Projects are designed to recognise and reward industry-leading practice in construction projects throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The merit-based awards are judged by professional and independent members of the  engineering community, including the Gulf Engineering Forum and the Society of Engineers within each GCC nation.

GHD Qatar Manager Michael Kemp commented, "We are honoured to be recognised for a project that we have seen come to life from initial conception over the past few years. The Grand Hyatt is a fantastic example of the full service offering that GHD provides, from engineering and architectural design through to construction supervision."
