Dubai Parallel Roads
The project involved the construction of two road sections in Dubai: the first near the World Trade Center connecting Second Zabeel Road to Sheikh Rashid Road; the second consisting of a series of roads and bridges to improve traffic flow in the "Jumeirah Lake Towers" area.
The construction of the 24 bridges stipulated by the two contractual lots required special solutions, including the use of launching gantries with an innovative "Combo" methodology for the first lot in order to finish the work quickly - and reduce traffic disruption.
The project also included the construction of new roads, the expansion of existing ones, the construction of access ramps and installation of vertical and horizontal signs, street lighting and the repositioning of a high number of sub-services (electrical cables from 11 to 132 KV, telephone lines, internet lines, drainage, irrigation and drinking water pipes up to a 1,200 mm in diameter).
Recognitions: The project was named by MEED as the United Arab Emirates Project of the Year in 2014 in the transport section.
