Ashghal Announces Completion Of First Package Of Roads And Infrastructure Project

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) announced the completion of all works on the first package of the Roads and Infrastructure Development Project at Al-Egda, Al-Khor, and Al-Heedan.

The project serves the new citizens' land plots in the area, which is located west of Al-Bayt Stadium, specifically north of Al-Khor Coastal Road and Al-Egda Street, and west of Al-Heedan Street. The project serves the area through the construction of an internal road network and the provision of advanced infrastructure facilities that meet the needs of residents to keep pace with future urban expansion.

The project engineer in the Northern Areas Section of the Roads Projects Department at Ashghal, Eng. Tamader Almas, explained that the authority implemented the roads and infrastructure project in Al-Egda, Al-Khor and Al-Heedan, as part of the country's comprehensive plan to develop infrastructure services, upgrade road networks in existing areas, and prepare and equip new land plots with all essential services to make them ready for residents and enable them to begin building their homes.

She added the project serves 738 new land plots and aims to achieve significant improvements in the area to enhance the quality of life and facilitate traffic flow.

Regarding the works carried out within the project, Tamader said the project provided a road network of 19km along with traffic safety elements such as street lighting systems and poles, directional signs, and road markings.

The project also included the construction of a 24km sewage network, a 33km surface and groundwater drainage network, a 7km treated water network, and a 20km potable water network.

New drainage pipes were laid, a new water flow distribution system was installed, and the system was connected to the main sewage network. Additionally, a 44,000-cubic-metre emergency rainwater storage tank was constructed to reduce water accumulation during the rainy season.

Local materials and manufacturers were used in most of the project works, with the local component reaching 70% of the total materials used. Local Qatari materials used included lighting poles and lamps, drainage pipes, precast manholes, electrical cables, directional signs, and interlocking pavers. This is in line with Ashghal's support for local manufacturers and the qualification initiative launched by the authority in 2017.
