| Parsons wins road project in Oman Pasadena-based Parsons announced that it has been awarded a contract by the Sultanate of Oman's Ministry of Transport & Communications' Directorate General of Roads and Land Transport to provide design and construction supervision services for the dualization of the Nizwa-Thumrait road. Following the completion of this project, the link between Oman's capital city of Muscat and the southern city of Salalah will be fully dualized along its 1,000-km+ length. Parsons' scope of work includes alignment study and finalization, traffic study and analysis, preliminary and detailed design (on a fast-track schedule), tender documents, and construction supervision. The project involves the conversion to a 4-lane dual carriageway from the existing 715-km-long single carriageway between the towns of Adam and Thumrait, and it includes several intermittent grade-separated interchanges, cross-drainage structures, camel crossings, and rest/service areas and weigh stations at intermittent locations. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
