The Code for Infrastructure Projects in the Riyadh region will be officially implemented from August 7, after it comes into effect in 15 days, as announced by the Center for Infrastructure Projects in the Riyadh Region.

The Code for Infrastructure Projects in the Riyadh Region. The code covers the entire area of the Riyadh region, which extends over about 400,000 square kilometers, including the capital and 22 governorates with all their villages, in addition to the stretches of roads that connect them.

The code aims to be implemented in 15 days, as announced by the Infrastructure Projects Center in Riyadh Region. The code aims to organize and develop infrastructure projects through accurate and unified standards, covering various types of roads, from highways and arterials to collectors and local roads, as well as providing detailed guidelines for working in sensitive areas and underground, ensuring the safety of residents and workers, and minimizing failures and conflicts between projects.

The code aims to regulate and develop infrastructure projects through accurate and unified standards, as it covers various types of roads, from highways and arterials to collectors and local roads. The code is an integrated reference that organizes eight key stages in the lifecycle of infrastructure projects from strategic definition, through design and implementation, to operation and maintenance, which contributes to enhancing performance efficiency, implementation quality, and ensuring long-term sustainability of projects.

The code is a comprehensive reference that organizes eight key stages in the lifecycle of infrastructure projects. <The code is based on six key guiding principles, which represent the core of its operational philosophy: Safety and Control, Efficiency and Continuous Improvement, Communication and Participation, Leveraging Technology and Data, Environmental Sustainability, Community Consideration and Accessibility. These principles aim to balance the technical quality of projects with the requirements of society and the environment. <The code also includes a system of accurate performance indicators to measure the success of project implementation, including: Injury-free projects, number of environmental and community complaints, level of adherence to license and delivery dates, use of local and sustainable materials, and stakeholder satisfaction. These indicators provide an ongoing, practical assessment of the extent to which implementing agencies are adhering to quality and safety standards.

On the other hand, the code includes a comprehensive classification of potential violations that may occur in projects, ranging from site safety, cleanliness, permit compliance, road quality, site management and signage, environmental and community impact, as well as accessibility during construction.

The code is a comprehensive classification of potential violations that may occur in projects. The "Infrastructure Projects Code" is an advanced organizational tool to promote integration between all parties involved in projects in the region, whether governmental or service agencies, contractors, consultants and laboratories, through unified standards that contribute to raising the quality of work and safety of implementation, and achieving efficiency in government spending.

This approach comes in line with the UAE's approach to infrastructure projects. This approach comes as part of the efforts of the Infrastructure Projects Center in Riyadh, the entity responsible for organizing and managing projects in the region, which seeks through this code to improve the urban landscape, enhance the quality of life, and raise the level of transparency and organization in managing major infrastructure projects.
