The Boring Company (TBC) has awarded Parsons Corporation the contract to provide professional services for the Dubai Loop project.
Under the contract, Parsons will act as TBC’s delegated programme manager, supporting design-build activities for the project. Parsons will provide integrated services, directly supporting TBC with independent design verification, stakeholder management, permitting and NOC support for the Dubai Loop pilot phase.
Parsons will also conduct multidisciplinary reviews of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, safety, and utility designs.
“Parsons has proudly played a central role in developing some of the most important and prestigious critical infrastructure programs across the UAE since our first programs there in the 1980s,” said Pierre Santoni, president, Infrastructure EMEA at Parsons.
“From roads, bridges, and tunnels, to airports, railways, and urban developments, our team has delivered superior quality, integrity and innovation on every single project from day one. Our agreement with TBC reflects the directives of the UAE’s leadership to strengthen strategic partnerships with leading global innovators and accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies to support the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Parsons will ensure all designs are technically robust, fully compliant with local regulations, and efficiently progressed to support safe, reliable, and integrated mobility across the Emirate.”
TBC’s global vice-president of business development, Jim Fitzgerald, said the company was excited to collaborate with Parsons on a project that would bring next-generation underground transportation solutions to Dubai.
“The Dubai Loop is designed to redefine urban mobility through fast, efficient, and scalable underground transport. By partnering with Parsons, we combine innovative tunnelling technology with strong regional expertise and a proven track record in major infrastructure delivery. This collaboration will help accelerate progress, ensure effective stakeholder alignment, and bring this vision to life in one of the world’s most forward-thinking cities,” he said.
The Dubai Loop, being developed in partnership with the Road and Transit Authority (RTA), will be a multi-phased passenger transport tunnel project comprising multiple tunnels and stations.
Parsons has worked with the RTA on key transport infrastructure projects since 2005. These include the Dubai Metro Red and Green Line, the Dubai Metro Route 2020 expansion, the Dubai Intelligent Traffic Systems Center, the Infinity Bridge, and more than 100 highway, bridge and tunnel projects across the Emirate.
