NAT assigned advisory works to Strata Construction Consulting to oversee the implementation of phase three for the metro’s third line. The financial offer’s total value, provided by Strata Construction Consulting, is roughly EGP 576m.
NAT has contracted with an Egyptian-Japanese alliance to be a supervising consultant on the implementation of the first phase of the metro’s fourth line (Alharam line). The winning alliance consists of five companies: Nippon Koei, Nippon Civic, Oriental Consultants, ACE, and EHAF.
The contract was signed for EGP 976m.
The authority is planning to establish six new lines to be completed by 2032, aiming to link Greater Cairo with its surrounding areas. The construction of the fourth line began in January.
The metro currently serves 4 million passengers daily through its two main lines, Helwan-Al-Marg and Al-Moneib-Shubra, with a third line that links Attaba Square and Heliopolis.
