ACTS bags quality control, geotechnical and testing works on Qatar stadiums
Advanced Construction Technology Services (ACTS), a leading consulting organization in the field of construction materials and geotechnical engineering, has announced its involvement in providing services in connection with five World Cup stadiums and three related energy centers being built for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
ACTS has already completed its task to conduct geophysical surveys on the Al Wakrah Stadium. In addition, ACTS has been appointed to perform various geotechnical and geophysical tasks along with the testing of construction materials related to the same stadium. The 40,000-seater facility is located approximately 15 km south of Doha, and will host World Cup quarterfinal matches. The stadium is designed after the dhow boats that carried Qatari fishermen and pearl divers.
ACTS is also currently involved with four other stadiums that are under construction in Qatar.
ACTS has been awarded important quality control works for other key projects in the Middle East, including the Doha Metro Project, the Riyadh Metro, the King Abdulaziz International Airport and the Kingdom Tower, the world’s first 1 km-high skyscraper currently under construction in Jeddah.
Khaled Awad, chairman of ACTS and vice president of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), said: “These contracts deal with some of the region’s highest-profile infrastructure projects. The selection of ACTS for the World Cup 2022 stadiums highlights our steadfast commitment to quality improvement.”
He added: “Carrying the works to completion highlights our capability and proves once again that ACTS is a reliable partner when it comes to investigations and studies ensuring quality control in construction.”
Since its establishment in 1996, ACTS has become a regional reference in construction consultancy services and a pioneer in achieving technological advancements in the materials and geo-engineering fields. The company is also the local sponsoring group of the ACI, the world’s leading authority on concrete construction and production, for its certification programs in the Middle East.
