Qatar, Egypt and the UAE are the next largest future markets. The latter has the Abu Dhabi metro and the second phase of the Etihad Rail schemes as well as the extensions of the Dubai metro. In Qatar, there are still several contracts to be awarded on the Doha metro in addition to the main packages on the long-distance passenger and freight networks. And in Egypt, there are long-held plans to develop lines 4-6 of the Cairo metro together with high-speed networks from the north to the south of the country. In total, there is $167bn-worth of active future rail or metro projects planned and unawarded in the Middle East. This is a rapid increase on the number a decade ago and signifies one of the largest single sector opportunities in the region. For contractors, consultants and suppliers alike, it represents a fantastic growth opportunity and will keep the market busy for years to come.

4.1.2 Metro/light rail In September 2008, the government approved an integrated transport strategy, intended to lead to the development of a series of new rail lines as part of plans to tackle congestion on the country’s roads.

It envisaged a 180km public transport network, including light rail, monorail, tram and bus rapid transit (BRT) lines. The project was to be implemented over three phases and completed by 2030, costing an estimated BD3bn ($7.96bn). The project proceeded as far as the prequalification stage, but has since stalled. The details of the project are as follows: Of the total network, some 115km will be rail, with two light rail lines – Red and Brown – of 32km and 32.7km in length, a 21km Green tram line and a 29km monorail Blue Line. The two BRT lines will be 33km and 36.5km. The Red line light rail system will start at Bahrain International airport and run through Muharraq and Manama to Isa Town.

4.7.2 Metro/light rail Abu Dhabi

“

Musanada is now expected to issue tenders for the construction of the metro and LRT schemes before mid2014 ”

Prompted by increasing traffic congestion and the long-term 2030 Vision for the emirate, the Abu Dhabi $68bn Surface Transport Masterplan, launched in June 2009, lays out proposals for the development of a metro line and two LRT lines around Abu Dhabi city by 2030. Following the release of the masterplan, USbased Fluor Corporation won the overarching contract to manage Abu Dhabi’s transport network in January 2010. In early 2012, Abu Dhabi’s Executive Council approved the Department of Transport’s budget for the consultancy work on the capital’s metro and tram

networks. Six months later, Aecom and Parsons Brinckerhoff, both US-based, and Germany’s DB International won the study and preliminary design contract for the

metro element of the masterplan. The LRT consultancy element went to a Spanish joint venture of Typsa and Sener. The projects moved into the construction procurement stage in the second quarter of 2013 when the client invited contractors to submit expressions of interest (EoIs). More than 400 companies did so, with prequalification taking starting two months later.

6.7.2 Issues The major challenge in developing South Sudan’s rail network is raising the necessary finance. According to consultants advising the Transport Ministry, the rail track alone would cost between $500,000-700,000 a kilometre. Rolling stock, stations, signalling systems and associated works would all contribute to the huge project costs that would be incurred in connecting South Sudan’s towns over lo ng distances. In the absence of funds from the export of oil, any rail plans in the near term would have to be financed by donors or international banks. In March 2012, the African Development Bank expressed interest in financing a feasibility study for the JubaLokichokio line, but there has been no progress since, according to the Transport Ministry.
