The project provides services for 1,389 residential plots in Al Meshaf South

​The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ announced the commencement of the Roads and Infrastructure Project in Al Meshaf South (Package 7) which aims to develop roads and infrastructure services in the area. The project is located northwest of Al Janoub Stadium and west of the southern part of Doha Expressway.

Engineer Ali Ahmad Al-Ansari, Project Engineer in the Southern Areas Projects Section at the Roads Projects Department in Ashghal, stated that package seven of the project serves 1,389 residential plots in Al Meshaf  South, and provides an integrated roads network with a total length of 24.8 km, for the purpose of enhancing the traffic flow and providing connectivity with public facilities that will be established in the area in the future, such as schools, mosques, commercial complexes and youth centers.

Engineer Al-Ansari explained that the project will provide traffic safety elements such as street lighting systems and poles, directional signs and road marking, in addition to providing 1690 car parking bays and 41 km of pedestrian and cycle paths. This is in addition to the development of 20 km of sewage network, 22.8 km of surface and groundwater drainage network, and 8.5 km of Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) network.

In addition, new sewage pipelines along with a new system to ensure the flow distribution will be provided and connected with Qatar’s main sewage network, to provide proper protection for the entire area against flooding during the rainy season.

The project construction works are divided into three geographical zones which will be carried out successively. It is planned that all project works are scheduled to be completed in Q4 of 2022.

In the context of the Public Works Authority's support for local manufacturers and Ta’heel initiative launched by the authority in 2017, most of the project works will rely on local materials and manufacturers, bringing the local component in the project to 85% of the total used materials. These materials include elements such as gabbro, luminaires, lighting poles, directional signs, sewage, surface water and rain water drainage pipes, asphalt and prefabricated manholes, in addition to concrete and rebar.

The project is being implemented by Petroserv Limited / Roadbridge Joint Venture, at a cost of approximately QR 422 million. It is one of the projects of Ashghal’s Local Areas Infrastructure Programme, which includes a number of development projects distributed over all areas of the country.
