Aqaba North Truck Terminal Entrance Interchange

Location : Aqaba, Jordan
Employer : Ministry of Public Works and Housing
Description of Work : The project involves the upgrading, rehabilitation, construction, completion, and maintenance of a trumpet interchange at the entrance of the new truck terminal. This includes a 22-meter-wide, four-lane post-tensioned girder bridge, along with the development of all necessary loops, ramps, and the widening of the existing carriageway on the Amman–Aqaba Desert Highway.

The work encompasses site preparation, including clearing and grubbing of the project area to facilitate embankment construction and other related activities. Extensive earthworks were carried out, involving roadway excavation, embankment formation, disposal of surplus and unsuitable materials—such as existing asphalt layers—borrow excavation, ditch formation, sub-grade preparation, backfilling, and slope finishing. The project also required the construction of reinforced concrete drainage structures and retaining walls, ensuring proper water management and structural stability.

A key component of the project was the post-tensioned reinforced concrete bridge, designed to accommodate heavy traffic loads while enhancing connectivity. The pavement works included the placement of aggregate sub-base and crushed aggregate base courses, as well as the application of bituminous prime and tack coats, binder, and wearing courses to ensure a durable and high-quality road surface. Additionally, various miscellaneous works were executed, such as the installation of curbstones, concrete tiles, guardrails, steel parapets, road signs, and pavement markings, ensuring the safety and functionality of the interchange.
Contract Price (USD) : $2,270,662
Start & Finish Dates : From 01-12-2004 To 14-07-2005

Infrastructure for King Abdallah Ben Abdel-Aziz City / Phase (2) - Zone (4)

Location : Zarqa, Jordan
Employer : National Resources Investment and Development Corporation (Mawared)
Description of Work : The project encompasses the construction, completion, and maintenance of infrastructure works for the Master Plan of King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz City in Zarqa, Jordan. The scope includes the development of a 5 km, four-lane carriageway, incorporating extensive earthworks and pavement construction, along with curbstones, medians, sidewalks, traffic signage, and road markings to ensure a fully functional and well-integrated roadway system.

A key component of the project is the installation of essential utility networks, including approximately 6.5 km of ductile iron (D.I.) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes for the main water supply and fire networks, as well as 7.5 km of sewer trunk lines and sewer networks using D.I. and reinforced concrete (R.C.) pipes with diameters of up to 600 mm. The scope also includes the construction of manholes, riprap protection, and gabion structures to support the sewer infrastructure.

To facilitate proper drainage and flood management, the project features a 1 km, 1500 mm diameter pipe culvert system, a 2 km double-cell box culvert, and a 1 km stormwater network comprising R.C. pipes of various diameters, complete with manholes and catch basins. Additionally, reinforced concrete retaining walls were constructed, reaching heights of up to 7 meters and extending over 2.5 km to provide structural stability in key areas.

The scope of work further includes the removal and relocation of utility obstructions, as well as the installation of telecommunication and electrical networks, complete with all associated works. Five electrical substations were constructed to support the development, alongside an extensive street lighting system to enhance safety and visibility.

As part of the city’s aesthetic and environmental enhancements, a landscaped area covering approximately 32,000 m² was developed, featuring fountains, flower boxes, walkways, and gardens, creating a well-integrated and visually appealing urban space.
Contract Price (USD) : $14,401,395
Start & Finish Dates : From 17-02-2008 To 31-12-2009

Shu'uleh Intersection at King Abdallah Ben Abdel-Aziz City

Location : Zarqa, Jordan
Employer : Ministry of Public Works and Housing
Description of Work : The project involved the construction of a post-tensioned flyover bridge consisting of 16 spans, connecting Khaw Highway with Al-Jaish Street. The bridge extends 385 meters in length, featuring a total of 128 girders, 900 meters of associated wing walls, fifteen piers, and two abutments, ensuring seamless traffic flow across the intersection.

Beneath the bridge, a three-lane roundabout with an 85-meter diameter was constructed, linking the four approaches of the intersection and facilitating access to the surrounding service roads. Additionally, the project included the construction of a railway underpass beneath the roundabout, measuring 15 meters in width and 9 meters in height, designed to accommodate the lowered level of the existing railway and the future Two-Light Rail system between Amman and Zarqa. The underpass was completed with earthworks, pavement layers, ballast installation, and an underground pumping chamber for drainage management. The covered section of the underpass spans 260 meters, while its approach extends 1,160 meters, reinforced by 1,300 meters of high retaining walls, reaching heights of up to 12 meters.

The project also entailed the construction of four-lane carriageways and service roads, seamlessly integrating with existing roads over a total length of 4.9 kilometers. To maintain uninterrupted traffic flow during construction, a 1.7-kilometer, four-lane detour was established, complete with earthworks, pavement layers, sub-base, binder, and wearing courses, along with the installation of signage, road markings, NJ barriers, traffic lights, curbstones, and pipe culverts. Additionally, a 1,100-meter railway detour was built and later removed, incorporating all necessary earthworks, sub-base, ballast layers, and ditches.

The scope also included the removal and reconstruction of water supply networks, replacing them with ductile iron pipe (DIP) networks of 700 mm, 400 mm, and 300 mm diameters, along with all associated valves and chambers. Furthermore, the project involved the relocation of various utilities, including high and medium-tension electrical cables, electrical substations, medium-voltage poles, street lighting poles, telecommunication lines, and 800 mm reinforced concrete (RCP) sewage lines, along with the necessary deep manholes.

A comprehensive stormwater drainage network was constructed, ensuring effective water management. Additional infrastructure improvements included the installation of road signs, curbstones, traffic markings, NJ barriers, steel pedestrian fences, sidewalks, speed bumps, and high-mast street lighting systems to enhance road safety. The project concluded with the milling, rehabilitation, repair, and resurfacing of Al-Jaish Road, extending 2.5 kilometers, to improve road conditions and connectivity.
Contract Price (USD) : $25,127,000
Start & Finish Dates : From 31-05-2009 To 29-12-2011
