Road Construction Engineering: A Comprehensive Guide to Infrastructure & Integrated Solutions

Road construction is the carotid artery of the national economy and the primary benchmark for urban development. At Safety Triangle Contracting, we don’t just pave roads; we design sustainable engineering solutions that defy time and terrain. We apply the latest technologies to ensure everyone reaches their destination safely, especially in complex projects like those we execute in the Asir region.

II. Technical Analysis of Road Construction Stages

Building a road according to Safety Triangle standards requires passing through precise technical phases that leave no room for error:

1. Geotechnical Studies & Surveying

The journey begins with studying the soil's nature. We use electronic monitoring devices to adjust levels and conduct soil tests to ensure the ground can withstand the axial loads of heavy trucks.

• Monitoring Tools: Total Station and GPS are used for millimeter precision.

• Objective: Preventing future road subsidence and defining accurate rain drainage paths.

2. Earthworks & Hydraulic Compaction

In terrains like Asir, this stage is the most challenging. We lay selected fill soil and compact it using heavy rollers.

• Specifications: Achieving a minimum compaction ratio of 95% according to the Proctor test.

• Monitoring: Field density tests are conducted for every single layer before proceeding to the next.

3. Bridge & Overpass Engineering

As shown in the video, bridges require extreme precision in:

• Reinforcement: Distributing steel with calculated density to resist shear forces and bending moments.

• Concrete Pouring: Using high-flow pumps to ensure no "honeycombing" occurs during the pour.

• Expansion Joints: Installing joints that prevent bridge cracking due to thermal expansion.
