QDVC has been awarded the contract to design and build an underground car park and the landscaped gardens fronting the Doha Sheraton Hotel, in the financial and diplomatic district of West Bay.
The contract, worth MQAR 1,220, covers the design and construction of a car park with around 2,000 spaces for Sheraton Hotel guests and the general public. The car park will be fitted, with an electronic system to guide drivers to vacant spaces that would be a first in Qatar.
The works will last 34 months and will also include construction of a maintenance depot and command center for the future Doha light rail system, as well as three electricity substations, and the landscaping of a 73,000 sq meter area (fountains, basins, play areas, restaurants and so on). Also included will be the construction of a cut-and-cover tunnel between the car park and future Doha convention centre, which is already under construction.
