The Problem

Project: West Bay 4 Seasons

Location: Doha, Qatar

Industry:: Hospitality

Developer: H.H. Sheikh Hamad Bin Jaber Al Thani

Consultant/Architect:: HALCRO

Value: USD 38 million (AED 140 Million)

The West Bay area development was overseen by the Government of Qatar, and includes many modern buildings, shopping complexes, skyscrapers and luxury hotels. The West Bay Complex Project initially comprised of a new five-star hotel in the shape of the Four Seasons Hotel, besides housing a 700 seat ballroom, a clubhouse, 100 berth marina, 20 town houses, two fully furnished apartment towers, one office tower and an exclusive beach.

The Solution

The Challenge

The crown in the jewel of the Project was the deluxe Four Seasons Hotel which consisted of 18 floors including Royal and Presidential Suites. The hotel was part of a multi-purpose complex that also featured a dedicated residential complex and office complex.

To properly execute this unconventional division of site activities, DSI deployed a centralized Building Management System (BMS) to monitor and control equipment used for the project. This helped to monitor and plan the course of action correctly as well as lower the energy consumption and improve resource sustainability.

Services

Drake & Scull were invited by the clients to undertake the complex MEP needs of the Four Seasons Hotel. DSI adopted a “Parallel Tracks” approach whereby the Project was divided into 6 modules or areas to facilitate easy allocation of resources and personnel. The 6 modules included:

  • The Office tower consisting 28 floors and 20 town houses
  • Five-star hotel premises consisting 18 floors and the 700 seat ballroom
  • Two apartment towers each spanning 22 floors
  • Central District Cooling Plant and 3.3kV power backup system along with the domestic water pumps and the fire pumps
  • Club House area
  • 100 berth Marina complex
