Parsons Corporation has been awarded a key contract by The Boring Company (TBC) to provide professional services in support of the Dubai Loop project, an underground transportation initiative being developed in the UAE.  

Under the nine-month contract, Parsons will act as TBC’s delegated programme manager, supporting design-build activities for the project. Parsons will provide integrated services, directly supporting TBC with independent design verification, stakeholder management, and permitting and NOC support for the Dubai Loop pilot phase. It will also conduct multidisciplinary reviews of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, safety, and utility designs.

Pierre Santoni, President, Infrastructure EMEA at Parsons, said: “Our agreement with TBC reflects the directives of the UAE’s leadership to strengthen strategic partnerships with leading global innovators and accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies to support the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan,” stated Santoni. 

Jim Fitzgerald, Global Vice President of Business Development, The Boring Company, said the Dubai Loop is designed to redefine urban mobility through fast, efficient, and scalable underground transport. 

“By partnering with Parsons, we combine innovative tunnelling technology with strong regional expertise and a proven track record in major infrastructure delivery,’’ he noted.

In partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transit Authority (RTA), TBC has been tasked with delivering the Dubai Loop, a multi-phased passenger transport tunnel project comprising multiple tunnels and stations aimed at expanding Dubai’s transport ecosystem and offering an additional mode of transport to residents in, and visitors to the city.
