IN the context of continuous cooperation and coordination between the governmental entities, the Utilities Coordination Committee (UCC), chaired by the Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’, held a workshop attended by all entities represented in the UCC, namely, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) and the General Directorate of Traffic in the Ministry of Interior.
The workshop aimed at discussing and updating the signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) between Ashghal and these concerned entities in relation to the roads and infrastructure projects across the state.
Eng Saoud al Tamimi, manager of Ashghal’s Roads Projects Department and the chairman of the UCC, said, “The workshop witnessed very good interaction between the attendees which indicates the keenness of all government agencies on cooperation and to work hand in hand to achieve Qatar’s National Vision 2030 in addition to delivery of all commitments for Qatar 2022 World Cup.”
Tamimi also pointed out that the effort exerted by the UCC participating entities in the last few years has led to resolution of most issues and matters raised to the committee. He said the MoUs signed between Ashghal and the other entities have played a significant role in saving time and reducing costs. These MoUs are the basis on which approved and streamlined processes and procedures were established to handle underground existing services and coordinate work among contractors. They also facilitated regulation of land allocation processes and eliminating all the challenges that hinder or delay projects’ construction.
In the same context, Eng Ibrahim Abbas, manager of Infrastructure Planning Department, MME representative for planning affairs, pointed out that this workshop was a good opportunity to review this agreement and undertake the necessary changes in addition to considering other means of cooperation with Ashghal and the other governmental service agencies.
Eng Fahad Telfat, manager of Kahramaa’s Water Network Section and UCC member, praised the close coordination and cooperation between Kahramaa and Ashghal and emphasised the importance of this cooperation in the success of projects.
Brigadier Mohamed Maarifiya, manager of Traffic Safety and Engineering Department, and Ministry of Interior’s representative in the UCC, emphasised the importance of coordination meetings and workshops between the governmental agencies.
