Project will 鈥榖enefit the firm in targeting more health work鈥�, says global account leader

EC Harris has been appointed to project manage the latest phase of the 拢550m Hamad Medical City in Qatar, one of the world鈥檚 largest health projects.

The consultant will manage development of just over half of the mega project - 250,000m2 of the overall 482,200m2 scheme.

Conor Ellis, global account leader at EC Harris, said the consultant had assembled a team of 15 full-time staff on the job and that work on the phase had begun.

EC Harris鈥� bid for the project pre-dated its merger with Arcadis, but Ellis said the tie-up would benefit the firm in targeting more health work.

Ellis said: 鈥淭he link-up with Arcadis can only be positive, particularly with the expertise on offer from their US-based health architect RTKL.鈥�

The Qatar win follows EC Harris鈥� completion of work on the design phase of the 300,000m2 Karolinska mega hospital in Sweden.
