RIYADH: New guidelines to unify safety standards and ensure residents are not affected by ongoing infrastructure projects in Riyadh are set to come into effect on Thursday.
The Infrastructure Projects Code provides a unified reference with standardized regulatory guidelines for government entities, utility service providers, contractors and consultants.
Fahad Al-Badah, the CEO of the Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center, told Arab News about the capital’s projects in the coming years, with the city hosting major events such as the FIFA World Cup and World Expo.
He said that the volume of investments in infrastructure projects had exceeded SR1 trillion and included more than 1,000 existing and future schemes over the next five years.
He added: “The code today is in effect the result of an effective partnership between public and private sector workers, asset owners, and contractors.
