Parsons Corporation announced last month that it has secured the project management consultancy services contract for the Dubai Metro Blue Line project from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

Under the five-year contract, Parsons will provide comprehensive project management services including design review, procurement support, construction supervision, testing and commissioning oversight, and project handover management.

Extending across 30 km, the Dubai Metro Blue Line will include 14 stations, enhancing connectivity between key districts, including Mirdif, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Creek Harbour, and Dubai Festival City. Upon completion, the line is expected to accommodate up to 320,000 passengers per day, supporting Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan for sustainable urban mobility.

On the contract win, Pierre Santoni, President, Infrastructure EMEA at Parsons, said: “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with the RTA and are committed to working with their expert team on expanding the Dubai Metro network in line with the RTA’s goal to provide seamless, safe, and sustainable mobility solutions that cater to the needs of Dubai’s growing population.”

According to him, Parsons has an extensive portfolio of work with the RTA, including the Dubai Metro Red and Green Line, Route 2020 expansion, the Dubai Intelligent Traffic Systems Center, the iconic Infinity Bridge, and more than 100 highway, bridge and tunnel projects.

Malek Ramadan Mishmish, Director of Rail Planning and Project Development at RTA, said: “We are pleased to appoint Parsons as the project management consultant for the Dubai Metro Blue Line, particularly given the company’s extensive and proven experience in delivering projects awarded by the RTA since its establishment in Dubai.”
