It is the huge camp built at Ras Laffan, Qatar, on the shores of the Persian Gulf to lodge and feed over 5,000 workers as they build the first plant in the emirate for liquefying millions of tons of natural gas yearly. Japan`s Chiyoda Corp. is the top contractor for the Qatar Liquefied Gas Co. (QatarGas) project, which is owned by a Qatari, French, American, and Japanese consortium. As part of the plant construction contract, Chiyoda built the camp, which Teyseer Services Co., the Qatar affiliate of the French company, Sodexho Alliance, now runs and maintains. Sodexho is the world`s largest catering/remote site management organization. It has had all its expertise in those fields put to the test for nearly 4 years supporting this world-scale LNG project which will be completed this summer. This project is described.
