A Dubai-based contractor with a significant presence in Qatar said it has landed a contract to build the mechanical, electrical and plumbing components of the depots and stabling yards on the Doha Metro Red and Green lines.

Drake & Scull said in a statement that it was awarded the QR340 million project by lead contractor Fujita Corp. and expects to complete work by 2019, which is the same year that the transit system is scheduled to enter operation.
