As lead designer, SYSTRA has delivered more than 15,000 drawings and more than 620 reports for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 260 SYSTRA employees from France, Korea, India and Dubai collaborated for more than three years on the design.

It will facilitate the integration of the northern regions of the country with the densely populated central and southern regions and contribute to reducing traffic congestion on surrounding roads. The project also includes the construction of motorway access roads on land partially reclaimed from the sea, two artificial islands housing maintenance facilities, two ports for administrative purposes and main administration building with its iconic visitors\u2019 centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>SYSTRA ranks 12th in the world in bridges among international design firms in the&nbsp;<em>Engineering News-Record (ENR)<\/em>&nbsp;rankings, compiled before the acquisition of International Bridge Technologies in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20180507_204239-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-574\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Mohamed Akraa, SYSTRA project director, receiving the award from the Minister of Public Works, His Excellency, Mr&nbsp;Hossam Abdullah Al-Roumi<br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.systra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/certificat-subiyah.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-573\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The award is from the Kuwait Chapter of the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
