Qatar’s Hamad International Airport (DOH) has chosen infrastructure consulting firm AECOM to deliver programme management services for Cargo Terminal 2 and Amiri Flight Facilities.
These services will be provided for Qatar Company for Airports Operation and Management to support the expansion programme at the airport.
The firm will be tasked with project management and construction management of the new cargo terminal, along with additional supporting buildings.
These ancillary buildings cover a central utility plant, a veterinary inspection facility and infrastructure diversions.
In addition, a cargo bridging centre will be established to handle predicted overflow from Cargo Terminal 1.
The new facility is set to open before the commencement of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in November next year.
