Doha Convention Centre & Tower

Client:
Qatari Diar

Estimated value: US $1.2 billion

Schedule: Completion is scheduled for 2012.

Scope: The centrepiece of Doha Convention Centre & Tower is a 550 metre, 105 storey glass tower containing offices, apartments and a hotel. The tower has been designed by Chicago-based architect Murphy/Jahn with Arup providing engineering and consultancy services. The adjacent convention centre will offer 100,000m² of exhibition space and is positioned as a leading regional and international events venue.

The tower has been designed with environmental concerns in mind. Double-skinned facades with external shading and internal blinds will help keep heat out while letting light in.

The technology used in the building’s construction will also help reduce the amount of energy required for cooling. The project will be rated against the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) energy guidelines.

Comments
Gentelmen, at least you have to know that its not so easy to jump in at this project. Because in Qatar you need at least one project experience to be succesfully in future. In past company who had been awarded for big projects leave Qatar after the first project or not finished it. A good example is bilfinger. I`m now here since 16 Months on the 2nd project and i love Qatari. But still looking forward to Mafraq-Ghweifat-Motorway :-)

Report claims all projects going ahead
Which project are you referring to Morijo? Quite a few big ones listed here. What I do know is that ProLeads' report (referenced in the intro to this piece), says some projects may be behind schedule but all major jobs are still going ahead. What have you heard?
