The forum provides an important opportunity for qualified and new Qatari factories to get acquainted with the authority’s new projects and their needs of various materials in order to encourage Qatari manufacturers, and to provide avenues for them to actively participate in the projects they implement in the areas of developing roads, infrastructure, buildings, sewage networks and treatment plants, highway projects and beautification.
It also provides an overview of Ashghal’s initiatives in the field of supporting local products and Qatari manufacturers. It also provides a comprehensive overview of locally manufactured materials that will be relied upon to implement the Authority’s new projects, as well as the quantities required to be supplied from these materials, which include poles, road lighting lamps, and drainage pipes. And precast manholes, bitumen, diesel, traffic signboards, thermal waterproofing materials, traffic safety materials and others.
