RIYADH: A major infrastructure forum convened in Riyadh this week to examine ways in which to improve quality of life and minimize disruption during development works.
The CEO of the Infrastructure Projects Center in the Riyadh Region, Fahad Al-Badah, spoke to Arab News about how the center plans infrastructure work to reduce disruption to residents.
“The comprehensive planning methodology that the center is currently working on has taken into account specific regulations for the placement of services. The services are arranged from bottom to top.
“Water services, for example, are the deepest compared to the rest of the services, and they always take priority, followed by electricity and then telecommunications.
“This methodology is primarily aimed at preventing disruptions when implementing additional services. We start with water, then electricity, then telecommunications, and finally, the street is fully asphalted.”
