HOCHTIEF ViCon accomplished a “Doha Metro project hat-trick” delivering eminent BIM services for all three Metro Lines in Doha; the Green Line, the Red Line and the Gold Line. The ‘QIRP Gold Line MEP Underground’ project comprised of Detailed Engineering Design - DED - services for 10 underground stations with an associated central cooling plant and 32 kilometers of railway tunnels for the client WorleyParsons.
ViCon’s scope of BIM Management services on this project was divided into two consecutive phases; phase one being the BIM implementation including the BIM execution plan and the BIM modeling guidelines and phase 2 BIM process management and BIM design coordination including BIM trainings and clash detections. Within 30 weeks ViCon conducted a total of 35 training sessions to discipline engineers from over 120 staff members under one roof in the engineering and BIM integrated processes. Having gained experience from previous Doha Metro projects, the Metro Green Line UG and the Metro Red Line South, ViCon surely was the right choice to deliver the desired BIM outcome.
The ‘Gold Line MEP Underground’ project JV, consisting of Aktor, Larson & Toubro, Yapi Merkezi, STFA and AI Jaber Engineering, was awarded to execute the detailed design and construction, which again awarded WorleyParsons to provide DED services for the “QIRP Gold Line MEP Underground” project.
