welcome
Dear Delegate, Qatar is to stage the 2022 World Cup, becoming the first ever Muslim and Arab country to host the event. Qatar is spending billions of dollars on infrastructure, hotels and football stadiums for the month-long tournament, offering rich pickings to local contractors. Official estimates expect the Gulf state will spend around $55bn, but analysts have predicted it could be up to as much as $86.5bn. Qatars bid relied on a well-compiled 750-page dossier that including plans to build or redevelop a total of 12 football stadiums, at a cost of $2bn each. As the tournament is held over summer, Qatar plans to cool each of the stadiums with massive air-conditioning units to maintain a temperature of 28 degrees, even on the hottest days. The flagship development will be Qatars Al Rayyan stadium, situated 20km northwest of the capital, Doha. The plan is to adapt the structure and surround the building with a screen which will show match updates, tournament information and other material. Another existing stadium, the Al Gharafa, will also be redeveloped. Another temporary stadium will be built in the marina and will use sea water, pumped over the exterior walls and the roof, to help cool the building. It will be dismantled later and the stadium seating shipped to Africa where it will be given to clubs or schools to use. To cope with the influx of tourists, Qatar is to spend US$17 billion on increasing its hotel room and guest apartment capacity to 80,000, easily topping the 60,000 capacity demanded by FIFA. There are 100 existing properties, with a further 130 to be built, all but 13 of which will be built after 2016. Hosting the World Cup adds a sense of urgency and an ultimate hard deadline for the completion of Qatars long-term development plans. Doha had already announced plans to splash $100bn- or 87 percent of GDP on sprucing up its infrastructure before being chosen to host the worlds biggest sporting event. Projects in the pipeline include a $7bn deep water port, a $20bn upgrade to the emirates road system, a state-of-the-art high-speed rail and metro system linking the stadiums; the New Doha International Airport and Lusail City. Although 2022 seems a long way off, a decade is not a long time in construction, particularly when you consider the amount of work that goes in the planning, designing and regulatory processes alone. That, coupled with the fact that Qatar has promised the tournament will adhere to strict safety, quality, and environmental standards means the coming 11 years will pass quickly for those involved. Dont, however, expect a flurry of tenders to start flooding out of Qatar immediately. Insiders say that while winning the bid has meant the brakes have come off some major projects, others are still in the planning stages and will take some time yet before they start filtering through. With Qatars intentions to host a high-class event, contractors, consultants and sub-contractors should be spending the intervening time ensuring their companies meet current best practice standards. Qatar has already flagged up the notion that it will not award tenders to anyone who doesnt comply. The Construction Week Qatar: World Cup Construction Conference will allow you understand the business opportunites available in the run up to 2022, the impediments to securing work in Qatar, and how to position your company to capitalise on the opportunities. I look forward to seeing you at the Grand Hyatt Doha. Oscar Wendel Event Director
