Project Description
One of the main challenges in this project was to keep the traffic safe and going in one of the busiest expressways in Iran, while adhering to the tight schedule of the project, and ensuring a safe environment for everyone involved.
To that end, Navrood set up an effective communication line between the project team and inner-city organizations operating in the area, and put in place a rigorous HSE plan to ensure the safety of all stakeholders.
Moreover, two state-of-the-art asphalt plants were deployed — 200 tons/hr and 160 tons/hr each — to ensure an uninterrupted supply of high quality pavement material, and an extended fleet of modern machinery and equipment were utilized to support the work force.
