The globally renowned natural and built asset design and consultancy firm, Arcadis, works in partnership with clients to deliver sustainable outcomes through the application of design, consultancy, engineering, projects and management services. The firm employs over 28,000 people that generate more than EUR3 billion in revenues. It also supports UNHabitat with knowledge and expertise to improve the quality of life in rapidly growing cities around the world.
In June this year, Arcadis announced that it has been appointed to provide architectural, branding, design and construction consultancy services for the Gold Line metro line in the city of Doha in Qatar. The appointment follows an earlier involvement on comparable activities on the Red Line South metro line, also in Doha. For the Gold Line project Arcadis will work on behalf of the contractor, ALYSJ JV, a joint venture of several international and local construction and engineering firms. The value of the project to Arcadis is almost EUR20 million. The ultimate client for the project is the Qatar Rail Company.
Earlier this year, Arcadis also announced its new Middle East regional leadership following the acquisition of Hyder Consulting in October 2014. Wael Allan took the role of CEO for the Middle East region, previous working as Hyder Consulting’s group operating officer and chairman for the Middle East.
Wael Allan, CEO of Arcadis Middle East said: “The strength of ARCADIS and Hyder capabilities enables the combined business to deliver evolving client demands and allows ARCADIS to provide its full range of design and consultancy services to clients in the Middle East.
I am looking forward to leading the combined business to future success.”
