CDM Smith is serving as the GEC for Doha west and additional Ashghal-assigned areas, supervising local roads, drainage, utilities and public realm work. Our approach combines rigorous quality protocols, stakeholder coordination, commercial management and proactive project controls to ensure safe, compliant and timely delivery across multiple concurrent packages under Qatar’s LRDP.
CDM Smith oversees roads, lighting, ITS, utilities, TSE networks, micro-tunnelling, landscape works and full drainage infrastructure. We ensure materials, workmanship and construction outputs meet QCS 2014, project specifications and international best practices.
We manage risk, cost, progress and change control across several project packages. Robust reporting, commercial management and contract administration ensure accountability, transparency, and alignment with Ashghal’s LRDP standards.
Enhanced HSE oversight, continuous improvement protocols and strict QA/QC implementation underpin the program. We ensure safe site operations, compliance with PWA requirements and high-quality built outcomes.
With approximately 128 staff deployed, the program is led by a project director and dedicated package teams. Each package is managed by senior resident engineers supported by engineers, inspectors, surveyors, planners, public relations, CAD professionals and safety specialists.
Under Qatar’s LRDP, Ashghal appointed CDM Smith in 2019 as the GEC for Doha west, with authority to supervise additional projects nationwide. The GEC role spans construction supervision of internal roads, lighting, ITS, landscaping, foul and surface water drainage, TSE systems, micro-tunnelling, and wider utilities. Our responsibilities include engineering oversight, contract administration, project controls, stakeholder engagement, quality management, HSE compliance, commercial management and closeout duties. Multiple packages—DW044 (02, 03, 06), DN110 (02) and QN005 (01)—are currently under supervision. A 128-member team delivers consistent governance and coordinated site management to ensure that all works meet Ashghal’s technical specifications, QCS 2014 standards and strategic LRDP objectives.
