November 6, 2018  

KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) announced today that, after almost eight years of successfully delivering the Qatar Expressway Programme, the Ashghal Public Works Authority in Qatar has awarded KBR a contract extension to continue delivering program management services to the project.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide a range of expertise including procurement, engineering, construction management, commercial management, project controls, QHSE and public relations. This work is expected to be performed over the next two years with one option year.

The new phase of the contract will see a transition in the way the Doha Expressway Programme is delivered. Going forward KBR experts will be embedded into Ashghal's organization to form a highly skilled and agile integrated client team working directly with the supply chain to deliver the next phase of this complex and challenging program.

This phase of the project will be focused on construction management, closing projects out both technically and commercially, and handing assets over to the relevant authorities.

"Ashghal, working in partnership with KBR, has consistently delivered despite the hurdles, producing world class infrastructure that will benefit generations to come," said Dr. Eng. Saad Bin Ahmad Al-Muhannadi, President of Ashghal.

"It is a great testament to KBR that Ashghal has chosen us as their partner of choice and demonstrates how well the KBR team has consistently performed on a complex program under high pressure conditions," said Jay Ibrahim, KBR President, Europe, Middle East and Africa and Asia-Pacific. "We look forward to delivering the next phase of this mission-critical project and to delivering a world-class highway network for the State of Qatar."

The Expressway consists of more than 60 major projects to deliver 500 miles of new or upgraded roads and more than 200 interchanges as Qatar looks to deliver against its National Vision 2030 and in preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. One of those projects that KBR is responsible for Ð the iconic Lusail Expressway Ð recently earned the prestigious designation as the 2018 Global Best Project within the Roads and Highway category by Engineering News Record (ENR).
