Amending FIDIC for Major Projects – Contracts used on the Doha Metro Project for the FIFA World Cup

The Qatar Rail Doha Metro project delivered 140kms of underground track and tunnel under Doha and 37 stations (31 of which were underground). By every measure it was a great success going from commencement of construction in 2013 to full operations during 2019.

The metro transported literally 100,000’s of football fans during the FIFA World Cup tournament in Qatar in November- December 2022.

This paper was part of a presentation at Session 1 of the IBA’s International Construction Projects Berlin Conference (March 2023) on amending FIDIC contracts for major projects and address the main themes of the changes made to the 1999 FIDIC Yellow Book for the Metro project.
