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?
