Project description
The State of Qatar had ambitious plans to become an important centre for business and tourism in the Middle East.
The New Doha International Airport (NDIA) was a key project in this development strategy.
In the scope of the “Transport Master Plan for Qatar (TMPQ)” a local public transport system for Doha was already created, which took into account national and international requirements.
To connect the new airport to the capital city however, a rail connected passenger transport system (PRS) had to be integrated into the TMPQ.
The main task of the plausibility study was to define a corridor for the installation of various rail systems (e.g. Metro, LRT, magnetic fast train).
Up to the vicinity of the terminal, the rail connection was routed through a 3.3 km long tunnel.
As the New Doha International Airport was under construction at this time, the various tunnel building procedures were of particular importance.
