DOHA: The Public Works Authority — Ashghal — has released the list of contractors who have been picked up to work on groundwater dewatering on construction sites.
This was announced in a conference organised by Ashghal as part of an initiative to improve the standards and procedures of groundwater dewatering on construction sites across Qatar.
Hamad Mohamed Al Tamimi, the Director of Ashghal’s Assets Affairs, addressed the attendees and explained what Ashghal would expect from its partners in this area and the best cooperation methods.
The conference saw the participation of 23 prequalified contractors, in addition to the manager and representatives from the Drainage Networks Operations and Maintenance Department at Ashghal.
The contractors will be able to request permits to use groundwater and surface water drainage networks operated by Ashghal and work with it on groundwater dewatering works in the current and future projects.
