The Kingdom’s leading annual event dedicated to designing, planning, delivering and maintaining world-class bridges.

Following the continued success of IQPC’s global bridges series, including three regional summits, we are delighted to announce the 2nd Annual Bridges Saudi Arabia taking place between 18 – 21 March 2012 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

SR34.5 billion worth of contracts were awarded in Saudi Arabia during the second quarter of 2011. Over 31% of the awarded contracts were allocated within the infrastructure sector including a number of intercity road and bridge construction projects. Successful development of residential and industrial areas relies on delivering high quality infrastructure on time and to budget, in order to attract end users who will build out the final product and populate the development. Properties located in areas where infrastructure is poor experience a reduced demand due to the heavily congested road network. Transport authorities and ministries throughout the Kingdom are integrating bridge projects with existing infrastructure to improve congestion and access to the public and industrial transportation networks.

Whilst transport authorities and municipalities throughout Saudi Arabia all conform to AASHTO standards for designing, constructing and maintaining bridge projects and the American Institute of Concrete rating; MOMRA are developing standard regulations for all bridge and tunnel projects.

In order to upgrade existing infrastructure networks and create new rail links municipalities, transport authorities and developers across the Kingdom will continue to develop a wealth of bridge projects.
