Introduction

The overall aim of the project is to reduce the travel distance  between Kuwait City and Silk City from 104 kms to 36 kms, which will cut the journey time from 90 minutes at present, to less than 30 minutes. Building the causeway will provide a new strategic highway route that will help planned development work located to the north of Kuwait City, as it will connect Shuwaikh Port with the Subiya New Town Development (Silk City). Further, it will help to Integrate the northern areas of the country with the more densely populated central and southern regions, while also helping lower traffic congestion in the surrounding roads.

Business Need

To provide the CCTV solution at entry and exit check points, at Shuwaikh Port & Subiya respectively.

Before the heavy vehicles enter the causeway they are weighed for the maximum limit allowed. This solution enables to capture a clear picture of the number plate along with the complete view of the loaded truck or the container, creating an entry pass for the bridge.

Challenges

The timeline to finish the project in time.

Due to the extreme weather in Kuwait, it was a challenge for the team of Pegasus to complete the project in time.

Against all odds, be it hot weather or the dust storms!!! all the underground cabling and the civil foundation for the poles, was completed.

Considering the weather condition in Kuwait, although the project site being a sea coast, it did not result in a delay for the team. Overcoming the hardship of hot, humid and dusty weather, the project got successfully executed in time.
