On 10th August Washwood Heath Asphalt Plant welcomed visitors from the State of Qatar as part of a fact finding visit to the UK.
Hosted by AMEY plc which is active in Qatar, the visit’s objective was for representatives from Ashghal – the Qatar Public Works Authority – to understand how roads maintenance contracts operate in the UK as infrastructure is one of their responsibilities.
Qatar is in an infrastructure boom currently not least in preparation for the 2022 FIFA Football World Cup!
Ashghal’s relationship with AMEY, the Birmingham PFI and the close proximity of our Plant, provided the perfect opportunity to understand the importance of asphalt production in the supply chain.
