Special moulds form bridge girders for Infrastructure Project in Kuwait

Infrastructural projects in Kuwait are still in the focus of local governmental-backed investments. In order to improve connectivity regionally and globally projects in this sector are viewed as a state priority. A huge number of major infrastructural and transportation projects are connected to the Kuwait Development Plan 2015-2020. As a part of this plan, a refurbishment of the Nawaseeb Road is ongoing with reconstruction of 45 km of the six-lane dual carriageway (three in each direction) with a provision of the space for future upgrade with addition of one lane in each direction. The goal was to improve access and safety on the roads, therefore the Nawaseeb Road corridor is upgraded to provide free flow by eliminating all existing U-turns and exchanging them into new roundabouts at all interchanges. This includes 18 elevated three lane bridges and 1 elevated two-lane vehicular flyover. All these comprise 13 km of motorway on reinforced earth ramps and pertaining retaining walls. 4 elevated Camel Crossings with 3 km of roadways on reinforced earth ramps and associated retaining walls complete the project.
