Qatar Economic Zone 3- Canal Excavation, Quay Walls Construction And Channel Dredging
INTRODUCTION The State of Qatar is developing the Qatar Economic Zone 3 (QEZ3), an industrial zone located between the town of Al-Wakrah and Mesaieed Industrial City on the Eastern Qatari coast, just north of the new Hamad Port. The development will be a key gateway to Qatar, providing an economic hub around the Port for manufacturing, logistics and trade in various industrial sectors and so fostering a import and export synergy. The site encompasses a total area of 37 km 2 including an industrial canal approximately 1,600 m long and 500 m wide for small to medium size vessels and dhows. The canal basin will connect to the existing navigation channel via an access channel approximately 7 km long and partly protected by breakwaters. SCOPE OF WORK The consortium was awarded
