Spanish infrastructure major Acciona has secured two operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts in Lusail, Qatar renewing its existing contract for the city's road infrastructure and winning a new contract to operate and maintain its underground utility tunnel network.

The contracts cover essential infrastructure supporting Lusail, one of Qatar's leading smart cities, including road tunnels, underpasses, bridges and underground utility systems.

Under the renewed Lusail Road MEP contract, Acciona will continue to provide specialised operations and hard services for key road infrastructure, including tunnels, underpasses, bridges and associated MEP, control and other critical systems, said the statement from Acciona.

Both projects operate on a 24/7 basis, with dedicated shift teams ensuring continuous monitoring, operation and maintenance of Lusail’s critical infrastructure, it stated.
