MZ & Partners, the lead architect for Energy City Qatar(ECQ), has announced the signing of strategic agreements with Associated Consulting Engineers (ACE) and Parsons International Limited (Parsons) for the multi-billion-dollar Energy City Qatar project.
Under these agreements, ACE has been retained as sub-consultant for the infrastructure works and Parsons as a design sub-consultant to carry out the traffic impact study for ECQ.
“ECQ is designed as the Middle East’s first integrated energy business centre for the global oil and gas industry,” says a spokesman for the project. “It will be developed through strong regional and global partnerships, enhancing the flow of inward investment into Qatar and the region, further progressing the economic diversification process being undertaken. The first phase of the Energy City Qatar was announced recently, involving an investment of $1.6 billion”.
The project was officially launched in Doha last month at a ceremony attended by key government officials and business and energy leaders from across the world.
