The company will supply, install, commission, operate, and maintain complete car parking systems with revenue control and management systems in ten buildings that house retail and residential areas at Medina Centrale and Qanat Quartier districts. Traffic Tech first implemented PMS at the district of Porto Arabia and to date holds three PMS contracts at The Pearl, in addition to being awarded a contract to implement a CCTV surveillance system at Parcels 1 to 6 of Porto Arabia.

The Pearl, Qatar, is a US$2.5 billion offshore development project with Riviera-style man-made island covering 400 hectares of reclaimed land and 40 kilometres of new coastline. Comprised of Riviera Arabia themed districts with luxurious residential and retail areas, The Pearl is one of Qatar’s premier destinations.

Once the new contracts are completed, parking systems at Porto Arabia, Medina Centrale and Qanat Quartier will be interfaced with The Pearl, Qatar’s island-wide Operational Command and Control Center (OCCC) for centralised operation.
