A Fully Integrated Joint Venture The Doha Green Line Underground is a fully integrated joint venture between Austrian contractor , Porr , HBK Contracting Co ., and Saudi Binladin Group . The beauty of such a set up comes from the fact that all partners are working towards a common goal , rather than trying to secure individual interests . Furthermore , as a joint venture there is minimal need to sub-contract . As Guenther Heilmayer , Project Director of PSH JV explains , “ We are not splitting the venture into different verticals , meaning we do not need to sub-contract . As a venture we execute most of the work internally and only sub-contract a few specialized elements of the project . This means that managing contractors is not a problem . The overall advantage is all three partners have the same interest for all elements of the project . “ We have a very integrated and collaborative approach to managing the project ,” he says .
A Passion For Quality From day one , quality has always been a priority for the joint partnership . The Green Line Underground is a self-certifying project , which means it manages its own quality control , as
“ The network will bring direct benefits from a social , environmental , economic and human perspective . The project truly encompasses the main vision of Qatar 2022 ”
