Bilfinger Berger bids for $1.8 billion Qatar projects
(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Bilfinger Berger AG, Germany's second-largest builder, has submitted bids for $1.8 billion in Qatari construction contracts, including a highway project in the north of the country.
The winning bidders for the $1 billion North Road and the $800 million North Sewage Treatment project is expected to be announced within four to eight weeks, Mahmoud El Khafif, Mannheim, Germany-based Bilfinger Berger's regional manager, said in an interview yesterday.
The two contracts, to be awarded by Qatar's Public Works Authority, is part of a five-year, $6.9 billion infrastructure spending plan. Companies interested in either project will have to cope with construction material inflation, with price increases of between 10 and 20 per cent in Qatar in the last year, El Khafif said.
