The red line of the Doha Metro has been the winner, by the international magazine ENR, the best metro project in the world in 2018.

The work executed by FCC has been the Red Line South Elevated & At Grade, with 7 kilometers of elevated section and three stations. Among the reasons for the agreement are the high economic, social and sustainability impact (sustainable mobility) and compliance with the SDGs involved in the design, construction and operation of metropolitan areas, in particular, the Doha Metro in Qatar.

The red line runs from Al Qassar station to Al Wakra station, about 40 kilometers long. This start-up is key to meeting the transport connection deadlines, necessary for the 2022 soccer world cup. This recently partially inaugurated line will transport in the near future the fans of the Al Wakra stadium to the Lusail stadium, where 2022 World Cup matches will be played. The complete metro network, which will open in 2020, will have three lines - red, green and gold - will consist of 37 stations and 85 km long. Future metro extensions will include the introduction of an additional line (Blue) and the expansion of existing ones, with 65 additional stations, with a first expansion completed in 2026.

FCC Construction and Doha Metro

The project includes the construction of the elevated section of the RLS red line of the Qatari capital as a continuation of the RLS Underground red line. It is a section of 6.97 km of metro line, with three elevated stations, with the names of Ras Bu Fontas, Al Wakra and Free Zone.

The section executed by FCC, within the Red Line, has been one of the sections with the greatest progress in terms of execution of all sections that various international construction companies have developed.
