The largest single contract in HOCHTIEF Construction’s history: The Barwa
Commercial Avenue (
page 68) is being built on the southern edge of Doha, the
capital of Qatar. HOCHTIEF ViCon used innovative virtual construction technology
in planning the project and developed a tailor-made, complex 3D model of the
shopping center. One plus was the capability to calculate the exact quantities
of building materials required.
Education enabled by HOCHTIEF: The Barwa Commercial Avenue project executives
started the German School in Doha. HOCHTIEF arranged start-up financing, the
lease of the school building and the remodeling of the existing facility. The
school caters not only to the children of German HOCHTIEF employees; pupils of
other nationalities, with or without German language skills, also benefit from
our company’s commitment.
