Giving green touch to stadiums abroad

CIMC's contract for Qatar World Cup venue heralds new age for construction companies

The next soccer World Cup, to be held in Qatar, is a good four years away, but China International Marine Containers (Group) Ltd, the country's largest transportation equipment producer by revenue, has started shipping material for the construction of a unique stadium - a world first - at the venue.

Earlier this month, CIMC shipped the first batch of 990 prefabricated modules for the Ras Abu Aboud Stadium, one of 12 stadiums to be built for the world's biggest tournament. Manufacturing work is expected to finish in April 2019.
