Projects in the pipeline are wide-ranging, from schools, hospitals and other key social infrastructure projects to the Doha Metro and railway projects at an estimated total cost of QR131bn ($36bn).

Qatar Development Bank (QDB) has said that there is a huge number of business opportunities linked to the Qatar rail project.

Keller Getec and Geosense have teamed up to work together in the Middle East with a particular focus on the Doha Metro.

Doha Metro, implemented by Qatar Rail, will provide numerous investment opportunities for the country's private sector in construction, operations and maintenance even as a study shows the project will boost private sector activities in the national GDP by 0.7%.

Qatar Development Bank (QDB), the award-winning organization, and Qatar Rail, the company overseeing the country's much-anticipated integrated rail network, staged a Qatar Rail Workshop about investment and business opportunities for the country's ambitious new rail running to nearly $40bn, on the 12th March, 2013 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

The current decade will be known as the golden years of rail in the Middle East if the huge pipeline of planned rail projects in the region comes to fruition. With more than $200bn worth of mainline, metro and tram projects either planned or under way, the region from Morocco to Iran is going through an unprecedented rail construction boom.

The contract for the first of three lines being built under phase one of Doha's Metro system is set to be awarded next month, according to Qatar Rail CEO Saad Al Muhannadi.

The entire programme, being implemented after extensive studies and researches carried out by teams of acclaimed professionals, took an integrated approach whereby various influences on sewage flows were examined. They included projected community growth, existing conditions of the drainage system and a host of forthcoming developments such as Doha Expressway Motorway System and Qatar Rail's Metro, works of which are underway.

A tender for the manufacturing of rail coaches and control systems for Qatar's $41bn Greater Doha Metro project is likely to be floated by the second quarter of 2013.

The US$25bn Doha Metro 85km railway network is one of the transport projects planned to connect urban and rural landscapes and reduce Qatar's pollution and congestion.
