The Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has completed the commissioning of Al Bidaa Metro substation, it was announced Tuesday.
With the commissioning, works of all five electricity substations related to Doha Metro project have successfully come to an end. The Al Bidaa substation is embedded with multi-storey car parking.
The total cost of the project is QR300mn. Al Bidaa 33/123 KV electricity substation is a part of phase 12 of Qatar electricity transmission network expansion project. The substation is fed from Al Suwaidi super by 132 KV cable with the length of 5.4 km. The substation has 132/32 KV transformers, 132/33 KV GIS and other allied equipment. The substation capacity is 100 MVA.
Kahramaa president Essa bin Hilal al- Kuwari, while announcing the completion, said the project will help Doha Metro project meet electricity needs.
Al-Kuwari added that Kahramaa gives top priority to Doha Metro substations in project awarding. “We manage to accomplish as per the approved timetable and as per the highest standards. The substations for Doha Metro are equipped with special technology to ensure uninterrupted power supply in emergency situations,” he said highlighting Kahramaa’s commitment to accomplish infrastructure projects within the timeline.
Kahramaa, in co-ordination with Qatar Rail, seeks to provide the highest standards of reliability in it's electricity networks at par with the global standards and regulations required for metro stations.
The substation building has sixth- storey car parking which will be completed soon and will have space for 625 cars. It’s equipped with the latest safety and security systems. The main entrance of the building and the floors’ entrances have been provided with electric display screens, displaying the number of vacant parking lots available on each floor.
Kahramaa considered the urban nature of the area, lack of car parking and a large number of daily visitors to the commercial and services authorities located in the vicinity. It benefitted from the location to construct the multi-storey car parking. It also contributed to solving the car parking issue in such areas with high traffic movement.
This substation is one of Kahramaa’s achievements as a key partner in the development of the projects witnessed by Qatar. It reflects Kahramaa’s commitment to implementing the infrastructure projects in line with the pursued time schedule.
Kahramaa has followed the highest standards of safety and security in all it's operations and activities. It has achieved more than two million working hours lost time injuries or incidents in the project of Al Bidaa Substation and associated car parking. It’s also keen to apply the highest standards of living circumstances for workers, appreciating there role as partners in this successful project which will affect positively and increase productivity.
Kahramaa has commissioned a total of five electricity substations for Qatar Rail to provide Metro Stations with electricity with a total cost of QR900mn. Ras Abu Funtas metro substation was commissioned in July 2017 while Lusail Metro electricity substation was commissioned in March 2018. Al Waab metro substation was commissioned in June 2018 while Doha West metro substation became operational in September 2018.
