| HLG awarded reservoirs project in Doha The Habtoor Leighton Group (HLG), one of the leading diversified international contractors in the Middle East and North Africa, has been awarded a QR246 million (US$68 million) contract for the construction of additional reservoirs at Al Duhail and Umm Qarn Reservoir and Pumping Stations (RPS's) for the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA). HLG (operating as Leighton Contracting Qatar WLL) is responsible for the construction of nine new six-million gallon reservoirs at Umm Qarn and one 25-million gallon reservoir at Al Duhail, along with pipe works, associated MEP and instrumentation works, road works and landscaping. This is the fourth project awarded to HLG by KAHRAMAA. The Group was awarded the original QR750 million (US$210 million) contract for the construction of the Duhail and Umm Qarn Reservoirs in 2009. Earlier this year, HLG handed over a major component of this project, the RPS milestone one (MS1) project in Al Duhail, which connects the Al Duhail RPS to the water network, enabling the commissioning of the pumping station four weeks ahead of schedule. A further contract for the construction of two reservoirs and associated works in Shahaniya was secured in 2010, and in June this year the Group secured the contract for the construction of the Al Kaaban reservoir and pipeline. The new project is scheduled for completion in 12 months. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
