China Gezhouba Group signed two contracts worth a total of US$ 557 million with Kuwait’s Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) for the construction and maintenance of roads, electrical substations and water infrastructure in South Saad Al-Abdullah, a new city located about 25 km southwest of Kuwait's capital.
According to the CGGC, the two projects are valued at KWD 77.25 million (US$ 250 million) and KWD 94.88 million (US$ 307 million), respectively. Spanning approximately 64 sq km, the South Saad Al-Abdullah New City project is one of the key projects under Kuwait Vision 2035. The work will involve setting out 23,551 residential plots and laying the first and second asphalt layers for roads in the city’s residential suburbs. Other tasks include creating systems for drainage, sewerage, irrigation, water treatment, water supply, telephone networks, road lighting, traffic networks and electrical cabling. The New City project is aiming to accommodate around 150,000 residents upon completion.
A third deal, worth US$306 million, was signed with an unnamed local company.
