2. Why do we need a Railway in Qatar?
QRC Core Presentation 24 May 2011 2
The aim is to transform Qatar into a world class economy by 2030, capable of sustaining its own
development and providing for a high standard of living for all of its people for generations to
come.
Seeking a comprehensive urban development plan for Qatar that adopts a sustainable policy with
regard to urban expansion and population distribution.
Establish a high quality and integrated public transport network that results in a modal shift from
private motor vehicles to public transport across Qatar , whilst recognising the right and desire of
Qatari’s to transport choice.
Rapid rises in disposable incomes have lead to exponential growth in car ownership and with it,
significant increases in road accidents and traffic congestion at peak times. Therefore, having a
railway system will decrease the accident rates and traffic congestion and pollution.
3. Introduction to the Qatar Integrated Railway
Project (QIRP)
Establish an Attractive, Safe and Highly Sophisticated Railway System within Qatar and connect the
State of Qatar to the Kingdoms of Bahrain and
Saudi Arabia
The Railway Network will comprise four Metro Lines and High-Speed Long Distance Passenger
Lines and Freight Lines
One of the Key Drivers is the Provision of the Railway Services for the FIFA 2022 World Cup
The QIRP Budget is projected to be approx. QAR 130 billion
The Railway System needed for the World Cup will be operational by 2020; the Complete Railway
System will be in place in 2026

(Station boxes to be contracted together with Tunnels or separately)
Elevated and at grade sections: lots to be 500 to 800 million USD size each
Stations Fit Out and Building Services will form separate packages
Several lots for depots and yards

44. QIRP – Conclusion
This very ambitious programme with plenty of challenges
(quality, time scale, work in urban congested environment, logistics, etc.)
needs strong partners
QRC is looking forward to team up with internationally renowned
companies as well as local entities to deliver this railway to Qatar !
