Campaign: Safety for Life
AECOM is serving as program manager on Qatar's New Port Project, which is hailed as one of the world’s largest “greenfield” port-development projects.

Already hailed as one of the world’s largest “greenfield” port-development projects, Qatar’s New Port Project (NPP) will span a 26.5-square-kilometer (10.2-square-mile) area — including the new port, a modern Naval Base for the Qatar Emiri Naval Forces, and a new canal for the planned Qatar Economic Zone 3.

AECOM has served as program manager since 2008, and the company's core safety philosophy — that proper identification, elimination and minimization of risks can prevent all injuries — has been critical to the NPP’s continued progress.

In addition to increasing Qatar’s importation volumes, learn how AECOM’s work on the NPP is helping the country to deliver on its obligations for the 2022 World Cup.
