An integral part of the project was a light rail transit (LRT) network connecting various districts of the city and also interconnecting with Doha\u2019s metro network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-challenge\">challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aiming to support Qatar\u2019s vision of a sustainable city, Lusail is designed to be an environmental and self-sustaining community. In line with this vision, the tram network provides a safe, environmentally friendly, comfortable, and convenient mode of transport connecting destinations in Lusail and Doha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With 4 main tram lines (Red, Yellow, Green, and Purple) the 35 km network has 37 stations (8 underground and 1 elevated). Lusail is a new city, being effectively built upwards from the underground \u2013 unlike existing cities where underground infrastructure must weave its way through existing services and building foundations. Consequently, the LRT was procured in two phases: the civil work first, followed by the rolling stock and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The sequencing of the works, which meant starting the civil works before selecting the rolling stock and systems, presented two particular challenges. First, how to design infrastructure capable of accepting a variety of systems while remaining efficient and cost effective. Second, how to combine the features of an underground metro and an at-grade tramway in the same network, particularly in terms of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-1024x737.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-768x553.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-1536x1105.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-2048x1474.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-474x341.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-1700x1223.jpg 1700w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-1352x973.jpg 1352w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-800x576.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-180x130.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-153x110.jpg 153w, https:\/\/www.systra.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/systra-lusail-lrt-2-230x165.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-approach\">approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SYSTRA worked for the consortium Qatari Diar &#8211; Vinci Construction &#8211; Alstom (QDVC Alstom) as the Lead Designer, ensuring that the multiple design interfaces were properly managed and that the system itself was integrated with the city\u2019s new infrastructure.
