Recently concluded World Athletic Championships won Qatar both glory and praise from around the world for its successful run and impeccable facilities it offered. Once again the nation has proved that its efficiency to host prestigious sporting events is unparalleled in the region.
Even though all eyes are on the preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, the country’s commendable infrastructure developments have never gone unnoticed among international sporting bodies. Much of these fetes would have been impossible without a clear vision and close cooperation between the government and some of the best infrastructure companies in Qatar who are capable of delivering the best for any world-class event. One such company is Waves Trading & Contracting W.L.L.
A recent interaction with Waves Trading’s General Manager Bilal Al Abdallah gave some insight into the highly visible projects undertaken by the company and how its ambitious works are setting the tone for FIFA World Cup preparations.
‘Class 1’ track at Qatar Sports Club
World Athletic Championships occupies a special place in Waves Trading’s history of delivering state-of-the-art tracks, even as the company has the expertise of completing more than 20 tracks in the region. Bilal Al Abdallah takes pride in the fact that the company could accomplish the monumental task of completing the track on time for the elite championships, that too with covetous Class 1 certification from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). These new Rekortan tracks with high-speed synthetic surface are designed for top performance as they offer maximum acceleration and great shock absorption. According to Mr. Bilal, these training tracks were ready in record 3 months’ time with the championships in sight, whereas projects of this magnitude normally take over 6 months.
