The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) honoured contractors and consultants of the Road Projects Department during an event held at the authority’s headquarters.
The honour was a recognition of their success and excellence in winning the Best Engineering Practices initiative launched by Ashghal.
The initiative aims to motivate the implementing companies and consultant firms to apply best practices and achieve Ashghal’s strategy to implement the best international standards.
Saud al-Tamimi, Roads Projects Department manager at Ashghal, opened the honouring event. He welcomed the attendees and congratulated the winners, lauding their efforts in the success of this initiative implemented in several projects over various engineering fields such as safety, quality, effective implementation, etc.
Al-Tamimi said the Best Engineering Practices initiative comes in the context of Ashghal’s efforts to constantly improve mechanisms and working modalities at the project sites, and to disseminate best practices applicable to all projects, besides consolidating the values and objectives of Ashghal’s strategy in raising quality and applying best international standards in all fields.
He added, "We take this opportunity to thank all participants in the initiative and urge all contractors and consultants of the department to best use this experience and pay attention to continuous improvement of performance for the benefit of companies, the State and the people."
About 18 contractors and consultants within nine road projects participated in the initiative and submitted their contributions to the department with detailed clarifications and explanations of best practices in their fields of expertise.
After studying the projects and reviewing the work done by the participating companies, four projects were announced as winners and the implementing companies honoured.
The winners were selected based on the extent to which they served as role models for disseminating and implementing the best practices in the remaining projects through documents of their successful experiences.
