The contracts were signed in the presence of Dr Eng Saad bin Ahmed Al Muhannadi, president of Ashghal, and representatives of local manufacturing companies.
The new lighting poles have distinguished design features reflecting the Qatari identity. The poles to be installed along Doha corniche are designed in the form of palm fronds, while leaf-shaped lighting poles will be installed along the streets of Central Doha.
Two local companies will supply locally manufactured poles to provide LED lighting along a 10km stretch on Doha Corniche from Ras Bu Abboud Bridge to Doha Cityscape Area, and along another two square kilometres in Central Doha.
The design of palm fronds was chosen for Doha Corniche especially to match the palm trees along the area, while the tree leaf designs were chosen in Central Doha to match the beautification and landscaping works going on in the region, besides enriching the Qatari identity.
Dr Eng Al Muhannadi said the new lighting poles have distinct features considering the strategic importance of these location in Qatar, and they are designed to reflect Qatari identity, using Qatari ideas and manufactured at Qatari manufacturing firms. “We are so proud to award the contracts to local suppliers and manufacturers,” he sadi.
Eng Ahmed Al Abdullah, chairman of Board of Directors of LDC, expressed his gratitude to Ashghal and the Supervisory Committee of Beautification of Roads and Public Places for awarding the contract for lighting poles. He also expressed pride in putting the idea of palm frond design and implementing it through Qatari skills in keeping with international standards in the design and operation.
Abdulla Al Nasr, vice-chairman of Al Nasr Holding Company, commented on Ashghal’s continuous support to the private sector, asserting that the company is committed to Ashghal with respect to quality of project’s outputs and its timely completion.
Eng Hamad Al Nuaimi from Alurays Lighting Technology that produce lighting units said that locally produced modern street lighting units are provided for the project. He also expressed gratitude to Ashghal for supporting local companies.
Abdul Rahman Al Ansari, chairman of Qatar Aluminum Extrusion Company (QALEX), commented that Ashghal greatly support local companies. He also pointed out that for the first time the country will have locally produced safer and more sustainable aluminum columns that will last around 30 years.
Considering the presence of palm trees along Corniche, Eng Ahmed Al Abdullah of the Lightning Design Company proposed the idea of the palm frond design, in cooperation with Eng Ibrahim Al Jaida, CEO of Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB), and LDC developed the palm frond design of the lighting units.
The material manufacture and supply are assigned to local firms including Metalex to supply steel poles and bolts, and Alurays Lighting Technology to supply lightings units to decorate Corniche Street. About 1,440 poles will be installed, in the middle and sides of the street extending from Ras Bu Abboud Bridge up to the signal near Doha Exhibition and Convention Center and Sheraton Doha.
Lighting poles designed in the form of leaves will be installed by Al Nasr Holding Company. Supply of materials was assigned to other local factories including Qalex, Metro Smart International and Jets Projects to provide aluminum poles, baseline bolts, aluminum lighting provisions and street light modules. It is planned to install 1,160 poles in Central Doha streets such as Grand Hamad Street, Jabor Bin Mohammed Street, A Ring Road, Museum Street and neighboring streets connecting to Doha Corniche.
