Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) received a 9-month contract from The Boring Company to provide professional services for the Dubai Loop project, an underground transportation system in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Under the agreement, Parsons will serve as The Boring Company's delegated program manager for design-build activities. The company will provide independent design verification, stakeholder management, and permitting support for the pilot phase. Parsons will also conduct multidisciplinary reviews of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, safety, and utility designs.

The Dubai Loop represents a multi-phased passenger transport tunnel project comprising multiple tunnels and stations. The project is being developed in partnership with Dubai's Roads and Transit Authority as part of expanding Dubai's transport ecosystem.

"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 of Infrastructure EMEA at Parsons.

Jim Fitzgerald, Global Vice President of Business Development at The Boring Company, stated: "We are excited to collaborate with Parsons on the Dubai Loop project as we bring next-generation underground transportation solutions to Dubai."
