Cooled Cycling Infrastructure

Posted by Carol Parker On 4:54 AM

A cycling project which Qatar’s sovereign Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani has proposed to promote the health of his people. After all, a large proportion of the population suffers from problems brought on by prosperity: they do not get enough exercise, cardiovascular diseases are prevalent and children are obese. This is a prestigious project with Qatar as an example to the countries in similar conditions!

For people in Qatar cycling is not at all the obvious thing to do. This needs to be changed as the 30 kilometer cycle path - now designed - is to be completed within a year after the signing of the contract. An attendant problem is the fact that Qatar’s climate is intensely hot and humid. The project group therefore came up with the idea of cooling the entire cycle path using cold ground water. 
 
The American consultancy firm the Rand Corporation has been leading in advising the Emir on the realization of his goal of getting Qatar’s population to cycle.
VeloMondial played a major role in the realization of the cycle path and proposed to involve the Dutch firm Goudappel Coffeng for the technical aspects. Another Dutch firm Akertech was involved in preparing the technical drawings.
